- Title
The Next Frontier for Stem Cell Transplantation.
- Authors
Godley, Lucy A.; van Besien, Koen
- Abstract
The authors discuss several ways to expand the pool of acceptable mismatched donors for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Sources of HSC for such transplants are blood or bone marrow HSC from adult unrelated donors, umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells, blood or bone marrow HSC from adult mismatched relatives and combinations of various donor sources. The limitation of UCB transplantation for adults is also discussed.
