The link required a password. So if you cannot access it, check this one out. I think it's the same source. I've seen the original study earlier this year and the one thing that stood out is that stem cells from the blood tend to graft better than those from the bone marrow. But as we all have seen, GVHD can be very serious and in the long run, it may be better to go with bone marrow cells.
