(ll) Work Being Done on
Increasing shelf life of platelet storage at lower temperature and with platelet additive solution.
Stem cell standardization of procedure involved in collection, storage and cryopreservation of cord blood derived CD34+ cells. Quantification of CD34+ primitive cell subpopulation and viability studies in cord blood derived mononuclear cells.
Autologous stem cells from bone marrow, from patients of acute spinal cord injury. Stem cells are processed and infused in these paraplegic patients. The results have been encouraging as seen by the recovery of these patients.
