Moraga Biotechnology Corporation, an adult stem cell company, announced the discovery of its proprietary Blastomere-Like Stem Cells (BLSCs) circulating in the peripheral blood of mammals. The Company's scientists found that these adult stem cells were able to differentiate into most tissues and organs of the body.

Commentary: Hopefully this discovery will have clinical applications for treating blood disorders such as hemophilia and Leukemia in the future.
