The Monash scientists put thymus stem cells into the kidney cavity of a mouse.

Does this mean stem cells extracted from the thymus? Or, embryonic stem cells stimulated to be thymus cells. As it reads, it seems to be the former. The answer is critical to the argument over growing embryos to get stem cells (wrong way as far as I am concerned).

Attempting to answer my own question (embryonic versus organ stem cells?) I did a quick scan of Nature - Immunology (Professor Boyd said the international science journal Nature Immunology would publish details of the research today.). I don't see anything related on their website yet.
