Primitive Embryonic-like Stem Cell in Adult Tissues, Discovered by Moraga Biotech Corp.
An adult stem celllinks company based in Los Angeles, California, Moraga Biotechnology Corporation announced the discovery in adult tissues of a very primitive stem cell with properties that are similar to embryonic cells.
The Company's scientists found that these adult stem cells were able to differentiate into most tissues and organs of the body---including spermatogonia. These very early embryonic stem cells appear to be retained in adult tissues as "Blastomere-Like Stem Cells (BLSCs)."


Using serum-free defined cell culture reagent, Moraga Biotech scientists were able to clone these unique adult stem cells into various cell lines from a single cell. While new cancer research evidence is pointing towards the possibility of the disease arising from adult stem cells, Moraga Biotech is developing such cell lines for use by research scientists. Adult-derived stem cells may be an invaluable research tool for discovering new molecular pathways and drugs for treating and possibly curing many forms of cancer in the very near future.
