Summary:

NewScientist.com news service reports on a new finding that adult stem cells can form different types of blood cells:

"They were hailed as an “ethical” alternative to embryonic stem cells – adult stem cells that can turn into any of the body’s tissues. Doubts have grown, but now a prominent sceptic has shown that one claim seems true: they can form all of the cell types found in blood."
