Stem Cell Surgery Used to Rebuild a 10-Year-Old Boy's Windpipe
29 March 2010
The British and Italian surgeons at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children took a 10-year-old boy’s bone marrow stem cells, injected them into a windpipe of a donor and implanted the boy with the windpipe stripped off its cells. The implanted stem cells are expected to differentiate into the windpipe cells within the boy’s body and not to be rejected by the boy’s immune system because they originate from his own tissue.
