Bone marrow stromal cell therapy improves survival after radiation injury but does not restore endogenous hematopoiesis

Abstract The only available option to treat radiation-induced hematopoietic syndrome is allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, a therapy unavailable to many patients undergoing treatment for malignancy, which would also be infeasible in a radiological disaster. Stromal cells serve as critica...
