In fact, researchers in Australia recently suggested that patients might someday want to clone themselves to take advantage of stem cell technology. ... Scientists said the first uses for human stem cells will probably be as a source of tissues upon which new pharmaceuticals can be tested and toxins assessed, and to study...

Scientists at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the University of Bonn in Germany have identified a special adult stem cell derived from muscle that has some extraordinarily beneficial qualities. They isolated the cells from mouse skeletal muscle, and tested them alongside a couple other types of muscle cells.

Scientists have isolated human postnatal stem cells for the first time directly from the periodontal ligament, the fibrous, net-like tendon that holds our teeth in their sockets. These cells have "tremendous potential" to regenerate the periodontal ligament, a common target of advanced gum (periodontal) disease.
