Understanding the molecular regulation of human blood stem cells by the microenvironment in health and in disease.
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Biosciences
Blood stem cells are used for treating patients whose bone marrow is no longer able to produce healthy stem cells of their own. Diseases - such as blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma, severe aplastic anaemia, sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia - can require a blood stem cell transplant. A transplant comes with risks, and success rates decline with patient age.  .
