Enhancing Stem Cell Transplantation with "Nutri-technology"

Valter D Longo et al. Cell Stem Cell. .

Abstract

It is necessary to employ myeloablative irradiation or chemotherapy to deplete the HSC niche to optimize hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In a recent issue of Science, Taya and colleagues provide evidence for an alternative to the toxic chemoirradiative procedure by showing that a valine-restricted diet is sufficient to empty the bone marrow niche.
