Dose of transplanted blood-forming stem cells affects their behavior
Unlike aspirin, bone marrow doesn’t come with a neatly printed label with dosage instructions. However, a new study published in Cell Reports provides clues about how the dose of transplanted bone marrow might affect patients undergoing this risky procedure, frequently used to treat cancer and blood diseases. In the study, USC Stem Cell researcher Casey…Continue Reading Dose of transplanted blood-forming stem cells affects their behavior
