Hello everyone,

I've attended Dr.Saunthararajah's AA webinar yesterday.
While no new research or solutions were mentioned, the webinar did explain the nature of AA more in depth.

A few questions have risen:

(1) Dr.Saunthararajah explained that the cause for acquired AA is in fact a CHANGE in the patient's stem cells, that could occur due to a great many things.
My question, therefore, is - are ALL stem cells affected by said change, or are there some that remain in their original form and are therefore not attacked by the body's immune system?

(2) Since the disease doesn't destroy your entire bone marrow in a week, as would be the case if the entire immune system took part in the effort to remove the "foreign" stem cell, I deduct that only a FEW T-cells target the marrow. In this case, is it possible to ISOLATE those T-cells, understand why they work differently than the others and try to remove or modify them?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, I would suggest you try asking your doctors (I know I will). There must be a way to solve this!

Thanks for reading!
