Is it possible to use stem cell of one human body to other human body?
my aunt has not preserved her stem cell and now she needs a stem cell for her daughter..is it possible to pocket stem cell from other person
and transplant it in her daughter's body?
Answers:
I suspect you are talking nearly a stem cell transplant, which is a bone marrow transplant, essentially. And yes, they can do those transplants with donors, thats what the world wide bone marrow registry is for.
If the child needs a bone marrow transplant, they will be questioning the bone marrow registries world wide for a match. If she has a full blooded sibling, that would be the best accident for a match.
Bone marrow transplants are called stem cell transplants because its actually the stem cell in the marrow that make the transplant work. The same type of stem cell is found in 2 other places, lateral blood (the circulating blood) and cord blood. The technical term for the transplant is a hematopoetic stem cell transplant, called a stem cell transplant for short. Technically, its simply called a bone marrow transplant when actual marrow is used. Most donations today, in the US atleast, are actually divergent blood stem cells. They are donated by aphersis, the same thing as at the plasma center or guaranteed types of Red Cross donations (but collecting a different type of cell).
She should NOT feel bad for not banking her daugher's stem cell. Many parents feel guilt if they didnt do it and later their child gets sick. She should know, that depending on the disease and age, within all likelihood, she would not have be able to use her own cord blood anyways. If the child is daignosed very young (as an infant or toddler), its imagined the disease is in the cord blood as well. If she is older, her single component of cord blood wouldnt have contained enough cells to do the transplant.
This is what embryonic stem cell research is more or less.
Essentially, its done through therapeutic cloning. This is a type of genetic engineering to help specialize cells. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_r…
