“I don’t recall the stem cells used on that woman were embryonic. Can anyone confirm if these were adult stem cells?”

I think you are correct. Some good research needed here.

There are a couple of stories. Yesterday one was posted about a woman who had received a stem cell transplant for a major organ (I’ll have to look for it) The other is in today’s headlines about an FDA approved phase 1 (safety study) on Geron’s embryonic stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury. The story didn’t specify but it should say that those are from existing embyonic stem cells.
