New Territory Mapped in Stem Cell Transplantation

Source: The Hospital for Sick Children
Date: November 4, 2007

Summary:

Transplant research has taken another step forward at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) where scientists have
discovered a gene with properties that allow for the successful engraftment of stem cells from human bone marrow into mice. Researchers hope further studies will lead to the development of a therapy so more children with blood diseases can receive bone marrow transplantation.
