Introduction to Stem Cell Transplantation
Through stem cell transplantation, healthy stem cells can replace damaged or cancerous cells in the body's bone marrow. These transplanted stem cells can differentiate and regenerate into healthy blood cells, helping to restore the normal function of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Stem cells provide the foundation for successful cell therapy against leukemia.

Advantages of Stem Cell Transplantation
Stem cell therapy has multiple advantages as a therapy option for leukemia. Therefore, some companies are researching and developing stem cell therapies for leukemia. For example, Fate Therapeutics focuses on developing therapies based on inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), studying the use of iPSC-derived natural killer (NK) cells and T cells to treat various hematological malignancies, including leukemia.
| Advantages | Description |
|---|---|
| Healing Potential | If other therapy options fail, replacing damaged or cancer cells with healthy stem cells can restore normal blood cell generation and eliminate leukemia cells in the body. |
| Graft Anti-Leukemia Effect | Stem cell transplantation can induce a phenomenon called graft anti-leukemia (GVL) effect. This immune response helps to eliminate residual leukemia cells and prevent recurrence. |
| Compatibility and Risk Reduction | Compatibility has greatly increased with the advancement of transplant procedures and the availability of various stem cell sources such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood. This reduces the risk of complications and improves overall outcomes. |
| Treating Drug-Resistant or Relapsed Leukemia | Stem cell transplantation is often seen as a therapy option for drug-resistant or relapsed leukemia. It can provide new relief opportunities by eliminating existing cancer cells and regenerating a healthy immune system that can combat leukemia. |
| Reducing Side Effects | Stem cell transplantation can allow for the use of higher doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as subsequent stem cell infusion helps restore bone marrow and replenish blood cell count more quickly. |
Alfa Cytology is committed to advancing the field of stem cell transplantation through innovative research, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive development services. Here are some of the main types of stem cell therapy for leukemia.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell
(HSCT)
- Transplanting healthy hematopoietic stem cells.
- Autologous or allogeneic transplantation.
- When other therapy methods are ineffective, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is usually used to treat leukemia.
Adult Stem Cell
(ASC)
- Exist in various tissues and organs throughout the body, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and skin.
- Differentiate into multiple cell types within its source tissue and repair damaged tissue.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)
- Reprogramming adult cells into embryonic like pluripotent states.
- Differentiate into different cell types and has great potential in regenerative medicine.
- Safety and efficiency challenges in the reprogramming process.
