Rapid myeloerythroid repopulation after intrafemoral transplantation of NOD-SCID mice reveals a new class of human stem cells
Article Abstract:
The problems hampering the effective stem-cell based therapies in terms of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) pool composition is illustrated. The rapid reconstitution of the more effective stem-cell based therapies is a new identification of a new (HSC) class.
