Helping blood cells regenerate after radiation therapy
By A Mystery Man Writer
Last updated 20 Sept 2024
MIT researchers have devised a way to help blood cells regenerate faster, by stimulating a particular type of stem cell to secrete growth factors that help blood cell precursor cells differentiate into mature blood cells. This could help repopulate blood cells in cancer patients who receive bone marrow irradiation.
