There is now such a thing as a "skin gun", which sprays stem cells onto burn areas, much like spray painting your walls. Also there is a "skin printer" in development which will print stem cells, possibly with more precision one would think than the spray gun.
And there is now a bone repair technique using skin cells from abdominal fat which is promising.
Adult stem cells, all of them. I still hold a special disgust for the hysterical promoters of embryonic stem cells. But there seems to be a chilly silence from them now.
