PEER-REVIEWED REFERENCES SHOWING APPLICATIONS OF ADULT STEM CELLS THAT PRODUCE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT FOR HUMAN PATIENTS

in preparing this website I came across so many articles that I haven't had a chance to classify or link to yet (not a complete listing, sample references) and these are all quite old in terms of stem cell research... most of them are from 2004 and earlier and HUGE advances have been made since then! but I nclude them here in case they are of use to you.

X-LINKED LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE SYNDROME and X-LINKED HYPERIMMUNOGLOBULIN M SYNDROME

Banked unrelated umbilical cord blood was used to reconstitute the immune system in 2 brothers with X- linked lymphoproliferative syndrome and 1 boy with X-linked hyperimmunoglobulin-M syndrome. Two years after transplantation, all 3 patients have normal immune systems. These reports support the wider use of banked partially matched cord blood for transplantation in primary immunodeficiencies.

Eight children with severe immunodeficiencies treated by adult bone marrow stem cell transplants. Six of 8 showed relatively normal immune systems after 1 year.
