Summary

This study collects blood stem cells from 500 healthy volunteers to develop better ways to process them for transplants. The goal is to remove the white blood cells that can cause a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease while keeping the stem cells needed for recovery. Participants receive a growth factor to boost stem cell production before donation. The research aims to make bone marrow transplants safer and more effective.
