Stem Cell Transplantation As A Dynamical System: Are Clinical Outcomes Deterministic? [PDF]
Outcomes in stem cell transplantation (SCT) are modeled using probability theory. However the clinical course following SCT appears to demonstrate many characteristics of dynamical systems, especially when outcomes are considered in the context of immune reconstitution.

Survival Prediction of Children Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Different Machine Learning Classifiers by Performing Chi-squared Test and Hyper-parameter Optimization: A Retrospective Analysis [PDF]
Bone Marrow Transplant, a gradational rescue for a wide range of disorders emanating from the bone marrow, is an efficacious surgical treatment. Several risk factors, such as post-transplant illnesses, new malignancies, and even organ damage, can impair long-term survival. Therefore, technologies like Machine Learning are deployed for investigating the

Physiological conditions influencing regenerative potential of stem cells [PDF]
Stem cells are being used in the treatment of cardivovascular diseases. Here, we review the physiologic and pathologic conditions that impact the regenerative potential of stem cells in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases which include the influence

Endogenous musculoskeletal tissue engineering - a focused perspective [PDF]
Two major difficulties facing widespread clinical implementation of existing Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders are (1) the cost, space and time required for ex vivo culture of a patient’s autologous cells ...

Collective effects in flow-driven cell migration [PDF]
Autologous chemotaxis is the process in which cells secrete and detect molecules to determine the direction of fluid flow. Experiments and theory suggest that autologous chemotaxis fails at high cell densities because molecules from other cells interfere with a given cell's signal.

Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can be treated and, in a large number of cases, cured by first-line chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Unlike many other malignancies, relapse is not uniformly fatal but the treatment is usually markedly myelotoxic with the high doses of chemotherapy used in relapse.

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in progressive severe multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system (CNS), which is disabling and majorly involves younger population. Various available treatments in forms of immunomodulation are not very effective; however, stem cell ...

Hematopoietic progenitor cell content of vertebral body marrow used for combined solid organ and bone marrow transplantation [PDF]
While cadaveric vertebral bodies (VB) have long been proposed as a suitable source of bone marrow (BM) for transplantation (BMT), they have rarely been used for this purpose. We have infused VB BM immediately following whole organ (WO) transplantation to
