2. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

   A stem cell transplant is a transplant intended to replace the progenitor haematopoietic stem cells. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent haematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [10] [11] [12] It may be autologous (the patient's own ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savior_sibling

   A savior sibling may be the solution for any disease treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.It is effective against genetically detectable (mostly monogenic) diseases, e.g. Fanconi anemia, [4] Diamond–Blackfan anemia [5] and β-thalassemia, in the ailing sibling, since the savior sibling can be selected to not have inherited the disease.

4. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell...

   Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood, in order to replicate inside a patient and produce additional normal blood cells.

5. Hematopoietic stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell

   Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [16] [17] [13] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an identical twin).

6. Childhood leukemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_Leukemia

   A stem-cell transplant can help the human body produce more healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets. It also reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions such as anemia, or hemorrhage. Stem cell transplants can be done by obtaining cells from the bone-marrow, blood or umbilical-cord blood. Stem cell transplants can use the ...

7. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Research is underway to examine the differentiating capabilities of stem cells found in the umbilical cord, yolk sac and placenta of different animals. These stem cells are thought to have more differentiating ability than their adult counterparts, including the ability to more readily form tissues of endodermal and ectodermal origin. [23]
