Summary:
Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina and Harvard Medical School discovered a small number of stem cells in amniotic fluid. The scientists have called them amniotic fluid-derived stem (AFS) cells and said that they represented an “intermediate stage” between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The cells have the same potential as embryonic stem cells and their ready availability makes them vital to research.
