Summary:

Researchers say a cell found in amniotic fluid of pregnant women has many of the same traits as embryonic stem cells, the Washington Post reported. The cells are able to grow into brain, muscle and other tissues that could be used to treat diseases, researchers said, and are easily retrieved during routine prenatal testing.
