Experimental work in animal models suggests that the course of systemic and organ-specific autoimmune disorders can be modified by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We describe two patients, each with a long history of psoriasis and ulcerative colitis, who received an allogeneic BMT for leukaemia. Four years post-BMT, they remain in full remission of psoriasis and ulcerative colitis, and of their leukaemia. We review the evidence for support of the concept that both psoriasis and ulcerative colitis are immune-mediated disorders and speculate on the possible role of allogeneic BMT in treating life-threatening autoimmune disorders.

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
