Each year, tens of thousands of patients receive stem cell transplant for blood diseases, such as leukemia, multiple myeloma or sickle cell disease. Unfortunately, not everyone responds as hoped. ExCellThera is working towards reducing complications for these patients, such as transplant rejection, relapse or even death, which can be as high as 50 per cent.
