NCIt synonyms : HPDSC Transplantation; Human Placental-derived Stem Cell Transplantation;
NCIt definition : An adjunctive therapy to umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation that is used to
augment stem cell engraftment in hematopoietic reconstitution. The process to extract
human placenta-derived stem cells (HPDSCs) yields an enriched population of CD34-positive
hematopoietic stem cells that, when transplanted in conjunction with UCB stem cells,
may provide a novel source for natural killer (NK) cells.;
