2. 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 ...

3. Savior sibling - Wikipedia

   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.

   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 stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an ...

   Allogeneic transplants are also performed using umbilical cord blood as the source of stem cells. In general, by transfusing healthy stem cells to the recipient's bloodstream to reform a healthy immune system, allogeneic HSCTs appear to improve chances for cure or long-term remission once the immediate transplant-related complications are resolved.

   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).

7. Umbilical cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord

   The umbilical cord lining is a good source of mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) have been used clinically to treat osteoarthritis, autoimmune diseases, and multiple other conditions. Their advantages include a better harvesting, and multiplication, and immunosuppressive properties that define ...
