Not really. Adult stem cells are far less pliable than embryonic stem cells. There isn't as much that can be done with them.



This story seems to state differently:

    "These adult olfactory stem cells appear to have the same ability as embryonic stem cells in giving rise to many different cell types but have the advantage that they can be obtained from all individuals, even older people who might be most in need of stem cell therapies. Stem cells obtained and transplanted into the same person would not be rejected by the immune system,"
