...an. It is now clear that the adult is capable of a regenerative potential that was previously considered to have become lost just before birth. This discovery suggests the possibility that adults (you and I) have managed to retain their early foetal potential to regenerate organs; and that this dormant potential ...Hair-raising stem cells identified
