George Daley, MD, PhD, Talks About the Clinical Promise of Stem Cell Research

摘要

Daley has mustered a good deal of data in various areas of stem cell research throughout his career. As an oncologist, he began to study stem cells from the perspective of cancer. One of his main foci became the hematopoietic stem cell. This cell is not only the object of malignant transformation in chronic myeloid leukemia-a disease for which he helped identify the initiating chromosomal defect, the BCR-ABL gene translocation-but also the therapeutic tool of bone marrow transplantation.
