Hi

Yesterday, my hema ( by the way she is the president of the conference) told me that one of the speakers will talk about a new technique that is said to cure thal in the transplantation field. They take the blood of the patient and expose his blood to ''something'' that change the nature of the patients stem cells, then his own blood is then re-transplanted back again. This is not Autologus transplant.

I really don't know any details or this ''something'', but i will let you know all the details as soon as i i have them. Can't wait for this conf to start
