Stem Cell

University of Wisconsin, Madison, offers great promise for new ways of

treating disease. ES cells, which are derived from four-day-old embryos, can

theoretically differentiate into virtually any type of human cell, from blood

cells to skin cells. Scientists hope to find ways of using these cells to repair

damaged tissue. About stem cell transplantation In the bone marrow, there is

approximately 1 stem cell in every 100,000 blood cells. The bone marrow in

the breast bone, skull, hips, ribs, and spine contains the stem cells. In the

blood stream, the number of stem cells is about 1/100 of that in the bone

marrow. Transplantation of these stem cells from the blood stream is

sometimes used in addition to, or instead of, traditional bone marrow

transplantation. The range of diseases for which bone marrow/stem cell

transplantation can be considered has increased greatly and includes the
