2. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell...

   Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood, in order to replicate inside a patient and produce additional normal blood cells.

4. Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_amegakaryocytic...

   Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to cure Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, the association of early bone marrow aplasia worsens prognosis. About 30% of those with CAMT die from complications of bleeding and a further 20% die from complications associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [4]

5. Hematopoietic stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell

   Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] [ 13 ] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an ...

6. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Stem-cell therapy uses stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. [1] As of 2024, the only FDA-approved therapy using stem cells is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [2] [3] This usually takes the form of a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, but the cells can also be derived from umbilical cord blood.

7. Acute radiation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome

   Irreversible stem cell damage in the bone marrow is the first life-threatening effect of intense radiation exposure and therefore one of the most important bodily elements to protect. Due to the regenerative property of hematopoietic stem cells , it is only necessary to protect enough bone marrow to repopulate the exposed areas of the body with ...

8. Myelodysplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

   Treatments may include supportive care, drug therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. [3] Supportive care may include blood transfusions, medications to increase the making of red blood cells, and antibiotics. [3] Drug therapy may include the medications lenalidomide, antithymocyte globulin, and azacitidine. [3]

9. Alpha-thalassemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-thalassemia

   Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for both alpha and beta thalassemia. It involves replacing the dysfunctional stem cells in the bone marrow with healthy cells from a well-matched donor.
