Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors As Research Subjects
Overview
Affiliations
Requests for participation of unrelated stem cell donors in research transplant protocols are becoming more frequent. World Marrow Donor Association calls on donor registries to participate in research activities. Here, we discuss various implications of research participation and make some recommendations as how to make this possible.
