Is stem cell transplantation used to make a person younger?
No, human stem cell transplants are used for their multipotency (they can become any type of cell). This does not reverse the telomere lost during cell division of other cells, which is typically used to determine biological age and potential longevity. Typically, stem cell transplants are used to combat a specific deficiency in an individual, such as Leukemia.
What diseases are stem cell technologies used to treat?
Stem cell technologies are being developed to treat many diseases such as Cancers and Parkinsons. They are currently used for bone marrow transplants.
Who are stem cell transplants safe for?
Stem cell transplants are generally safe for patients with certain types of blood disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Individuals who undergo stem cell transplants must meet specific health criteria and be evaluated for potential risks and benefits by their healthcare team.
What are stem cell transplants?
Stem cell transplant is the process in which diseased cells are replaced by the stem cells collected at the time of birth from umbilical cord blood or bone marrow.
How can sickle-cell disease be treated?
Stem cell or bone marrow transplants are the only cure for sickle cell disease
What conditions are stem cell therapy being used for currently?
Stem cell therapy is used to treat several conditions. It has been used succesfully for years to treat leukemia and related blood/bone cancers through bone marrow transplants. Stem cell potentially has an unlimited number of possibilites. It can potentially be used to cure stroke vctims.
What type of bone transplant uses bone marrow from a donor?

What can stems cells do?
Stem cells could also be used someday to replace or repair tissue damaged by disease or injury. Stem cell technology has been used for more than 20 years in bone marrow transplants, where the patient's bone marrow stem cells are replaced with those from a healthy, matching donor. Stem cell can also be use as treatment for parkinsons disease,autism and also diabetes at Stem Cell Treatment for Diabetes in Ukraine.
What is leukemia and how do you cure it?
Leukemia is a broad term used to describe a cancer condition of the blood and lymph system. Depending on the actual type, treatments vary from chemotherapy to Stem Cell Transplants.
What kind of projects are the bd biosciences currently working on?
"BD Biosciences are currently working on furthering their research on Stem Cells, Stem Cell Transplants, and the general use of stem cells to treat and cure disease."
Why would one have a bone marrow transplantation?
Bone marrow transplants involve replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This can be used to help many stem cell related illnesses, sometimes including cancer.
Describe the prenatal surgery procedure for treating X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome?
Experimental hematopoietic-stem-cell transplants.
