  • Though this transplant is quite preferable around the world, still there might occur many complications in case the donor is mismatched. (stemcelline.com)
  • If your baby arrives much earlier than expected or your pregnancy is threatened by high risk complications, your doctor will prioritize the health and well being of you and your child over collecting cord blood. (femhealthproject.com)
  • Immunocompromised adults may be at risk for enterovirus D68-associated neurologic complications. (cdc.gov)
Platelets9
  • Research Objective Our research will determine how aging of human blood stem cells leads to dramatic increases in disorders of platelets, cells that normally prevent bleeding but form harmful clots when dysregulated. (ca.gov)
  • Hematopoietic stem cells are immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • Blood stem cells are immature cells that can grow into red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. (artemishospitals.com)
  • Autoantibodies targeting different antigenic determinants on red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets are assumed to cause isolated episodes of hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia, respectively. (medscape.com)
  • Autologous and allogeneic platelet (PLT) preparations, in particular a blood component termed "platelet gel", traditionally obtained from adult blood platelets, are rich in regenerative growth factors, which are valu-able for the treatment of chronic wounds (5). (medicaljournals.se)
  • p>Blood has three main cell types: red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infection) and platelets (which clot the blood). (nemours.org)
  • These stem cells divide to eventually give rise to red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells in the red marrow. (medscape.com)
  • White blood cells last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, platelets for about 10 days, and red blood cells for about 120 days. (medscape.com)
  • Similarly, the bone marrow produces and releases more white blood cells in response to infections, and it produces and releases more platelets in response to bleeding. (medscape.com)
Fetal liver1
  • Between 1960 and 1990, numerous attempts were made to transplant fetal liver and thymus for various conditions. (lozierinstitute.org)
Haemato Oncology1
  • Dr. Smitha has received her fellowship training in Haemato Oncology & Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) from a reputed institute in Bengaluru. (hcgoncology.com)
High-dose1
  • Treatment of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms with high-dose cytarabine/mitoxantrone followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant. (uchicago.edu)
