Adult stem cells are within each of us
We all have them.
Adult stem cells exist within every human body and hold the untapped potential to rescue tissues and organs that have been injured by disease. These cells can be collected from excess fat, bone marrow, hair follicles, dental pulp, skeletal muscle and other sources. Cord blood provides yet another source of adult stem cells; these cells have been successfully used to treat many conditions. Scientists are perfecting the ability to prepare donated stem cells to be injected into patients to repair damaged and diseased tissue.
Proven success
It's already working.
Research from adult stem cells has already produced successful therapies for certain cancers. The clinical applications of adult stem cells are years ahead of embryonic stem cell research; however, the true healing power of adult stem cells has yet to be fully realized because of insufficient funding.
