Work shows they are an abundant source of the immature cells that have the potential to become a variety of the body's tissues, like muscle and bone. The discovery offers another ethical route to creating stem cell treatments for diseases like arthritis without using embryos. The findings are published in The Journal of Translational Medicine.
