I have read an article about four cases where an individual's own cord blood stem cells were released to produce a treatment for aplastic anemia. The cord blood was processed and stored at Cord Blood Registry and the transplants were conducted at three different institutions: The University of Minnesota, Los Angeles, and Children's Hospital in Seattle.The cases suggest that autologous cord blood transplantation for aplastic anemia is a safe and effective treatment protocol and demonstrate that this approach is amenable to use at different treatment centers across the United States.
"Aplastic anemia is a life-threatening disease with no known cause that can be acquired at any time in life and is difficult to treat," quoted a scientist named Dr. David T. Harris, the lead study investigator of the cases. According to the article, it also tells that autologous cord blood is used in Regenerative Medicine.
