Adult stem cell sources for tissues of interest. Stem cells serve as the building blocks for regenerative medicine, but adult stem cells are not easily characterized and have a native plasticity, so there is considerable crossover between cell sources and possible tissue applications. The most useful sources will likely offer a combination of restored tissue functionality and ease-of-use, and are liable to be harvested from the organ(s) of interest or the surrounding region.
