Stem Cell Discovery Could Lead to Improved Bone Marrow Transplants

ScienceDaily for January 7, 2011 reported on a discovery about stem cells.

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have identified a key molecule for establishing blood stem cells in their niche within the bone marrow. The findings, reported in the January issue of Cell Stem Cell, may lead to improvements in the safety and efficiency of bone marrow transplants.
