Stem Cells from Blood Vessels for Bone Marrow Transplant
Ann Zovein, MD, studies stem cells with the goal of creating a more promising source of cells for bone marrow transplantation. The stem cells that spin off all blood types originate in the walls of blood vessels in the embryo. Zovein aims to find a way to use blood vessels as a source of stem cells that can be expanded in the lab to generate an off-the-shelf supply. http://www.ucsf.edu
