  • Stem cells are undifferentiated cells, meaning they are not bone cells, blood cells, brain cells, or any of the other specialized cells in the body. (coconutresearchcenter.org)
  • In the bone marrow, stem cells are the seeds that form red blood cells, platelets, and the many types of white blood cells needed by the immune system. (coconutresearchcenter.org)
  • Chemotherapy itself is very harsh on the body and causes significant collateral damage, including immune suppression by inducing DNA damage and cell death in both peripheral blood and bone marrow (disrupting stem cell development), which often results in long-term impairment to the immune system.

  • Acquired aplastic anemia is a rare, serious blood disorder, due to failure of the bone marrow failure to produce blood cells. (rarediseases.org)
  • In acquired aplastic anemia, an almost complete absence of hematopoietic stem cells results in low levels of red and white blood cells and platelets (pancytopenia). (rarediseases.org)
  • The symptoms of acquired aplastic anemia occur as a consequence of the bone marrow failing to produce enough blood cells. (rarediseases.org)
  • Red and white blood cells and platelets are formed in the bone marrow. (rarediseases.org)
  • A low level of circulating red blood cells is called anemia. (rarediseases.org)
  • A low level of white blood cells is known as leukopenia. (rarediseases.org)
  • Stem cells hold many different characteristics, but they all share two common features: in the appropriate environment of the body, stem cells are able to self-renew and they have the ability to become more specialized cells such as bone, blood, or muscle. (orlandoregenerativemed.com)
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. (medlineplus.gov)
