Core Tip

Core tip: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be used to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases. This therapeutic modality is based on using immunoablation followed by reinfusion of hematopoietic progenitor cells to regenerate naive T-lymphocytes. HSCT and mesenchymal SCT have been proved successful in treating refractory inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease and refractory celiac disease type II. The ultimate target of aggressively treating this type of celiac disease is to prevent development of lymphoma. Data in end-stage liver diseases are also encouraging.
