Zusammenfassung:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only curative therapy for certain genetic diseases of the hematopoietic system, including some inheritable deficiencies in red blood cells (RBC). Recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cells may open a new era for the cure of such severe genetic RBC diseases. Red blood cells (RBCs) are unique, highly specialized, and the most abundant cells in humans and other organisms. The primary function of RBCs is transportation of the respiratory gases O, and CO2.
