Early Successes – Adult Stem Cells
- Human neural stem cells can migrate extensively in
the brain after injection.
- Adult stem cells have been isolated from amniotic
fluid, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, umbilical
cord, brain tissue, muscle, liver, pancreas, cornea,
salivary gland, skin, tendon, heart, cartilage, thymus,
dental pulp, and adipose tissue.

stem cells have been isolated from many different kinds of tissues,
although they are present in small numbers.
