  • Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disease in which the body's cells that eat invaders (also called phagocytes) do not make hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals. (primaryimmune.org)
  • Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a type of primary immunodeficiency (PI) in which one group of the body's white blood cells, called neutrophils, fail to make the hydrogen peroxide, bleach, and other chemicals needed to fight bacterial and fungal infections. (primaryimmune.org)
  • chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (curehunter.com)
  • The intermediate clinical form called Hand-Schüller-Christian disease is characterized by multifocal, chronic involvement and classically presents as the triad of diabetes insipidus, proptosis, and lytic bone lesions. (medscape.com)
  • We therefore briefly discuss differences found in subsets of human bmMSCs and in MSCs isolated from some other sources and touch upon how this could be utilized for cell-based therapies. (hindawi.com)
  • In addition to these already established stem cell therapies, there is ongoing research and development of new stem cell therapies, which are currently being investigated in clinical trials involving people. (centenary.org.au)
  • In most cases, clinically relevant cell numbers for MSC-based therapies can be only obtained by in vitro expansion of isolated cells. (frontiersin.org)
  • In this mini review, we will discuss point by point possible pitfalls in the production of human MSCs for cell therapies, without consideration of material-based applications. (frontiersin.org)
  • To overcome this shortcoming of cell therapies, scientists have developed cell and tissue preservation techniques to prolong life of living cells outside of the body. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
  • This limits widespread use of cell therapies, complicates distribution, and increases cost. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
  • Therefore, the development of preservation methods that allow long-term storage of viable cells at ambient temperatures has become an important goal for scientists working in the field of cellular therapies. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
