Abstract excerpt
Cord blood (CB) transplantation is primarily performed in children, rather than in adults, due to the low number of haemopoietic progenitor cells obtained from the small volume of a single CB collection. Prolonged thrombocytopenia is a major problem following CB transplantation. Efforts are curre...
