  • Stem cells are defined by their capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, making them uniquely situated to treat a broad spectrum of human diseases. (articlecity.com)
  • It is the prototype of the primary immunodeficiency diseases and is caused by numerous molecular defects that lead to severe compromise in the number and function of T cells, B cells, and occasionally natural killer (NK) cells. (medscape.com)
  • Symptoms related to bone marrow dysfunction, such as anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia, are rare at presentation but can also be observed in the later stages of the disease. (medscape.com)
  • Changes in patient interaction occur from the earliest symptoms and intensify with the need to provide comprehensive nursing care during transplantation. (bvsalud.org)
  • Differential expression of Gb3 on glomerular capillaries compared with other endothelial cells may explain the predominance of renal injury. (medscape.com)
  • Human bmMSCs were described in the late nineties as well [ 6 ] and at the same time a breakthrough study investigated the expression of typical cell surface markers and the proliferation and differentiation properties of human MSCs in more detail [ 7 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • These molecular defects interfere with lymphocyte development and function, blocking the differentiation and proliferation of T cells and, in some types, of B cells and NK cells. (medscape.com)
