Method for Combined Conditioning and Chemoselection in a Single Cycle (UCLA Case No. 2011-478)

SUMMARY: Researchers at UCLA have developed a highly-efficient technique to engraft and select hematopoietic stem cells directly inside a patient. The invention will improve the fidelity of stem cell transplantations and reduce toxic side effects on patients. BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a mainstay of treatment for...
