New kind of treatment?

It appears this will help many various diseases. It's exciting to see a new therapy with this broad of a reach.
Thanks for posting.

Exciting possibilities. I hope we'll be seeing clinical trials of this sort of thing in the US. If it can improve counts after transplant failure, wouldn't it also have the potential to avoid the transplant process altogether?

I guess it would depend on the reason for the BM failure in the first place. You may still need some sort of immune suppressant treatment to halt the progress of the disease but I don't see why you couldn't use it to recover your counts quicker. Sure does sound promising.
