  • Hematopoietic cells from NMDP donors or cord blood units are used to transplant patients with a variety of blood, bone marrow or immune system disorders. (wikipedia.org)
  • The NMDP coordinates the collection of hematopoietic ("blood-forming") cells that are used to perform what used to be called bone marrow transplants, but are now more properly called hematopoietic cell transplants. (wikipedia.org)
  • These organizations (mostly hospitals and blood banks) have established relationships with the NMDP and work together to arrange the collection and transfer of donated bone marrow or PBSCs, or the transfer of previously collected cord blood. (wikipedia.org)
  • When an adult volunteer donor (marrow or PBSC) registers with the NMDP, their HLA and contact information is sent to the NMDP, which stores it in their computers. (wikipedia.org)
  • Physicians look for donor material on behalf of a patient by submitting the patient's HLA tissue type to the NMDP, which then searches its computerized database for matching donor (marrow or PBSC) or cord blood units. (wikipedia.org)
