Test... The National Cord Blood

of unrelated cord blood, providing the most extensive data available
on factors that influence the clinical outcome of cord blood transplantation
in children and adults. Results of this research have been published
in several leading medical journals (to browse a list of publications,
visit the News
& Articles section).
Current Collaborations included:
- With IBMTR - a comparison of unrelated cord blood and bone
marrow transplants in children.
- With IBMTR - a comparison of unrelated cord blood transplants
in adults.
- With ViaCell - a clinical study of the safetly of growing cells
to expand the number of stem cells.
- With Gamedcyte - a clinical study of the safetly of growing
cells to expand the number of stem cells.
- With Several transplant centers - strategies to overcome the
limits of the small cell dose available for adults.
