Induction of tolerance in autoimmune diseases by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: getting closer to a cure?
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the earliest cells of the immune system, giving rise to B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, tissue macrophages, and dendritic cells. In animal models, adoptive transfer of HSCs, depending on circumstances, may cause, prevent, or cure autoimmune diseases.
