“Life is a dream. I had a dream!”
A huge progress has been experienced in last decades with bone marrow transplantations.
Known since centuries for its components of blood particles, this intra-osseous space hides probably many more secrets!
Recent advances in therapy of leukemias have shed more light on it.
It contains stem cells and growth factors for many tissues (What if it were all of them?).
The large public was informed those last days about stem cells of fat tissue evolving in cartilage when placed in articulations.
Hence, we can imagine bone marrow transplantation helping in many more disorders than just leukemias.
In this last instance depletion of receiver’s bone marrow is the first priority in order to eradicate the tumor.
If this is not the aim, we can imagine the two lineages, the one of the receiver, and this of the donor living side by side.
A slight immuno-depression would be necessary at first to permit acceptance…
A blood perfusion from the same donor can be helpful.
This would represent the therapy for sickle cell anemia.
The most compatible donor would be also the best.
