  • The stem cells are then separated from the other blood cells by the process of apheresis, and then they are given to the patient through a catheter placed into a vein. (differencebetween.net)
  • Now, a technique called peripheral apheresis allows doctors to extract blood stem cells directly from the blood, instead of the bone - patients first take a drug that pulls stem cells from the bone and into the blood - meaning that the marrow cells should be considered a fluid like blood, rather than an organ, the plaintiffs argued. (time.com)
  • That means the ruling stands - and that people can now be paid up to $3,000 for their marrow, as long as it is collected by apheresis. (time.com)
