Incomplete Stroma Formation by Bone Marrow from Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients Treated with Interferon
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) results from the neoplastic transformation of a pluripotent stem cell. The disease is characterized by a significantly increased number of granulo-monocytic progenitors in both t...

Purged Autologous Bone Marrow: Better or Worse than Circulating Stem Cells?
Autologous bone marrow tranplantation (ABMT) has been extensively used as treatment for hematological malignancies over the last decade [1]. The main cause of failure after ABMT is relapse or recurrence of the...
