Adult Stem-Cell Therapy Could Treat Radiation Sickness
The U.S. Department of Defense is working with two biotech firms to develop a treatment for radiation sickness using adult stem cells extracted from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors, New Science magazine reported.
High doses of radiation can be lethal. The experimental stem-cell therapy is intended to repair the damage, which could save U.S. military soldiers if there is a nuclear explosion or radiological attack.
