Umbilical cord blood use in hematopoietic reconstitution in a young male patient with Fanconi’s anemia

Fanconi’s anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder with symptoms that include bone marrow failure, a predisposition to neoplasia, high incidence of myelodysplasia, progressive pancytopenia as well as nonhematopoietic developmental anomalies. The transplantation of stem cells is the only treatment available for this condition. The best results are reported when the sample is derived from a matched brother or sister. If a matched sibling sample is not available an unrelated donor sample might be used but the results are inferior and have a high possibility of morbidity and mortality¹.

Access to a ‘treasure chest’ of stem cells…

Press Release: Future Health’s Tooth Stem Cell service provides access to a ‘treasure chest’ of stem cells   Future Health launched the tooth stem cell service a number of years ago based on the premise that teeth contain valuable Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) that are readily accessible and easy to characterise. Because these MSCs have an immunophenotype that is comparable to those already utilised in clinical trials, both extracted and deciduous teeth are thought to be a valuable source of both autologous and allogeneic MSCs.
