Treatments Autologous Stem Cell Transplants
This video details autologous stem cell transplants and offers insightful animations of the procedure.
In an autologous stem cell transplant, you are your own donor. Your peripheral blood stem cells are taken from you, frozen until needed, then given back to you after you have received high doses of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both, to destroy cancer cells.
“An autologous stem cell transplant removes your bone marrow stem cells so that you can be given larger doses of chemotherapy and radiation. Following therapy, your unharmed stem cells are returned”

Stem Cells: Developing New Cures
New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) has helped create a video on stem cell research currently playing in the Hall of Human Origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. It portrays the promise of stem cell therapies for human disease and demonstrates the potential of the research to create opportunities for studying disease fundamentals.

Adult Stem Cells Success Stories – Amy Daniels
StemCellResearchFacts.com – Amy Daniels was terrified when she learned that she had Scleroderma- a disease that causes the tissue in the skin, blood vessels, and muscles to harden. It’s known as the disease that turns people into stone. Amy was fortunate to get into a medical study that used Adult Stem Cells from her own body to save her life. She is now completely cured from the disease.
