  • Before chemotherapy medicines suppress the immune system, hematopoietic stem cells-which produce blood cells-that are generated from a person's bone marrow or blood are collected or kept. (bonemarrowtransplantations.com)
  • Did you know that your baby's cord blood is rich in stem cells that may be used as therapy in some cancers (such as leukemia), immune system disorders, and blood diseases (such as anemia)? (motherhoodcommunity.com)
  • The conditioning method suppresses the immune system and destroys cancerous cells. (yapitahealth.com)
  • Organs and tissues are built up by specialized cells from the pool of stem cells that form shortly after fertilization. (bmrat.org)
  • Stem cells are widely defined by two main characteristics: the ability to self-renew (divide in a way that reproduces more identical stem cells) and to differentiate (to turn stem cells into specialized cells that form different organs and tissues). (bmrat.org)
  • Although previous recommendations for preventing transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through transplantation of human tissue and organs have markedly reduced the risk for this type of transmission, a case of HIV transmission from a screened, antibody-negative donor to several recipients raised questions about the need for additional federal oversight of transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • A working group formed by the Public Health Service (PHS) in 1991 to address these issues concluded that further recommendations should be made to reduce the already low risk of HIV transmission by transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • This occurrence raised questions about the need for additional federal oversight of transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • The working group concluded that, although existing recommendations are largely sufficient, revisions should be made to reduce the already low risk of HIV transmission via transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • Stem cells are collected from the bone marrow - the spongy soft tissues in the bones. (parkwaycancercentre.com)
  • Allogeneic BMT involves the use of stem cells from a compatible donor, which can be a family member or an unrelated donor. (koruhastanesi.com)
  • Cord blood transplantation involves the use of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, which is collected and stored at birth. (koruhastanesi.com)
  • The method involves microinjecting heterologous mitochondria into an oocyte or embryonic cell wherein the heterologous mitochondria are capable of achieving at least normal levels of mitochondrial membrane potential in the oocyte or embryonic cell. (justia.com)
  • Clinical researchers have suggested that classical risk factors and comorbidities may adversely affect the efficacy of cell therapy. (bvsalud.org)
  • Each stem cell stroke trial being carried out aims to further establish the safety and efficacy of these cells. (startstemcells.com)
  • 2 UCB is at the forefront of research exploring gene therapy, prenatal diagnosis, immune cell therapy, antibiotic efficacy and identification of new proteins. (sajbl.org.za)
  • Embryonic stem cells were first identified in mice (Martin, 1981). (bmrat.org)
  • Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they are able to produce all cell types in the body. (bmrat.org)
  • These cells exist only in earliest stages of embryonic development known as the blastocyst stage. (bmrat.org)
  • Recently, scientists have discovered how to reprogram normal cells to behave like embryonic stem cells. (bmrat.org)
  • Early research in the field was often associated with the controversial use of embryonic stem cells. (kansasrmc.com)
  • At KRMC we never use embryonic stem cells. (kansasrmc.com)
  • WO 2001/046401 discloses embryonic or stem-like cells produced by cross species nuclear transplantation. (justia.com)
  • Although less controversial than the use of embryonic stem cells obtained from fetal tissue, the practice of UCB biobanking presents several ethical and regulatory challenges surrounding its procurement and use, especially in developing countries like South Africa, where the majority of the population is vulnerable and prone to exploitation. (sajbl.org.za)
  • As a source of non-embryonic stem cells, UCB has found potential uses as a therapeutic modality in more than 80 clinical applications, both haematological and non-haematological. (sajbl.org.za)
  • Stem cells are removed from you before you receive high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatment. (medlineplus.gov)
  • After high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatments, your stems cells are put back in your body to make normal blood cells. (medlineplus.gov)
  • When genetically susceptible individuals are exposed to infection, stress or trauma, cutaneous dendritic cells are activated to produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-23, which subsequently stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of proinflammatory T cells. (nature.com)
  • Primary endometrial epithelial cells for cell therapy are largely hampered with the extremely limited proliferation capacity of uterine epithelial cells. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Additional processes in which mitochondria are involved include heat production, storage of calcium ions, calcium signaling, programmed cell death (apoptosis) and cellular proliferation. (justia.com)
  • No. You will receive a collection kit for your baby's cord blood stem cells when you enrol with StemLife. (stemlife.com)
