RE: Stem cells? A diversion while I'm installing the Perl dependencies (Steemit.pm!), for the program to tabulate the votes

in #health7 years ago

Transferring the cells from the bone marrow and transplanting them to another human being requires a consensus in the blood group and also requires complex tissue coherence (CMH)
Such operations are very difficult, but with the development of technology in medicine has become somewhat easy, these scientific clarifications are very important, worth pursuing, thank you @libertyteeth

Interesting -- they didn't ask my blood type. Perhaps umbilical stem cells are undifferentiated even including blood type?

My knowledge of medicine is limited, but cell transplantation must correspond to the blood group, because it is the carrier of immune cells in the human body @libertyteeth

Thanks for the motivation to look this up! It appears that stem cells are matched to the recipient with HLA, a protein "marker" indicating whether it belongs in your body or not.

Enjoy!

It is useful information thank you, and the transfer of members from one person to another, requires a complex consensus C M H @libertyteeth
