Cell therapy – what’s it all about?
Cell therapy involves the delivery of therapeutic cells into a patient to treat disease or repair tissue. These cells can come from the patient receiving the therapy or from a donor.
Many different types of cells can be used as part of a therapy or treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions. Potential applications of cell therapies include treating cancers and autoimmune disease as well as many other conditions.
