Stem Cell Research - Growing A New Immune System · BlogIssues

By tammii 323 days ago from http://www.blogissues.com

Possibly good news for people suffering from autoimmune illnesses: Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have managed to transplant new blood-forming stem cells into the bone marrow of mice, effectively replacing their immune systems.

Rebooting

Although this treatment is not ready to be performed on humans yet, there’s hope that this could be a possible cure for autoimmune diseases. A transplant would give the person a new immune system, a reboot if you will.
