  • Bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside our bones, is the factory for blood cells. (mdanderson.org)
  • These early trials are showing roles for stem cells both in replacing damaged tissue as well as in providing extracellular factors that can promote endogenous cellular salvage and replenishment. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The use of patient's own bone marrow aspirates, hematopoietic stem cells and MSCs, for heart muscle tissue repair can be puzzling because these cells do not normally contribute to the cardiac lineage types that are desired. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The use of gametes, embryonic and fetal tissue as well as blood and blood products raises additional questions that need to be separately addressed. (who.int)
  • Niches are special microenvironments in tissue where stem cells are located. (bvsalud.org)
  • Cord blood, because it is more primitive, does not thoroughly attack against diseases and therefore GVHD is less likely to occur. (pregnancy-info.net)
  • Our depth and breadth of knowledge allows us to treat both common and very rare blood diseases, and help manage any complications that might arise, helping you get better faster. (fredhutch.org)
  • Please refer to Certificate of analysis for list of infectious diseases panel we test each batch of blood. (newcyte.com)
  • After a baby's delivery, the cord blood present in the umbilical cord can be preserved which can treat the family for over 80 Life Threatening diseases. (cordlifeindia.com)
  • Here is a list of treatable diseases through Cord Blood Banking. (cordlifeindia.com)
  • Research is underway to develop various sources for stem cells, and to apply stem cell treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and conditions, diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions. (allstemcells.com)
  • The process is similar to getting a blood transfusion. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Ensure that regulatory agencies and blood transfusion services have clear guidelines and standards for donor screening, testing, and quality control. (researchgate.net)
  • The Autologous arm held 56 children that received an infusion of stem cells from their own cord blood on their first visit to Duke. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
  • The placebo was an inert infusion designed to look, feel, and even smell like a cord blood infusion. (parentsguidecordblood.org)
  • Guidelines for Cord Blood Unit Thaw and Infusion. (duke.edu)
