Stem cell therapy for thalassemia patients
New technologies like organic cement used in repairing spinal fractures might soon help bone marrow cancer patients. A project led by University of Leeds engineers will focus on the incurable cancer of the bone marrow that causes destructive lesions (abnormal tissue) in bones and makes them more susceptible to fracture. The study will analyze whether techniques such as injecting organic cements into the spine to stabilize the bone, or using plates to fix fractures can be adapted for affecte... Readmore
