Adult stem cells create new jawbone?

A German man who lost his lower jaw to cancer has a new one today. His doctor grew one for him in the muscles of his back, and the man's own adult stem cells probably caused the growth.

For comparison's sake, the number of jawbones grown using embryonic stem cells is still zero.
