Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the only curative treatment modality for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Haploidentical HSCT with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is an upcoming option in children with nonmalignant conditions. However, only few cases have been reported for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome HSCT with PTCy approach. Here we report a 4-year-old boy, treated successfully by haploidentical HSCT with myeloablative conditioning (busulfan, fludarabine, and thiotepa) and PTCy. Posttransplant chimerism was fully donor. Of 13 cases (current case and other 12 published cases) 10 are alive and disease free after haploidentical HSCT with PTCy. Haploidentical HSCT with PTCy using myeloablative conditioning is feasible and safe.

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...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration01:21

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.

Tissue Transplantation

Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
