Stem cells are considered the basic components of life. They are the foundation of all other cell types in the body.
Hematopoietic stem cells are capable of becoming any adult (functional) blood or immune cell. These cells are found in the bone marrow.
They can be collected from peripheral blood, bone marrow, or umbilical cord blood at birth.
They are used to treat and cure conditions such as leukemia, blood cancers, autoimmune diseases, or inherited metabolic disorders.
