Abstract
The present invention relates to the discovery of a population of non-germ adult stem cells that can be found in tissue from non-embryonic mammals, including at least mouse, rat, pig and human. These adult stem cells, which are present within the post-natal individual at all ages from infancy to senescence have a phenotype and developmental potential that is different from stem cell types, embryonic and adult, that have so far been described.
