I agree, that's what happens when used in CLI, much the same thing is happening here. Again, I don't see that as fighting the coronavirus directly, but it's fixing what it harms, and who know, it might actually fix something that was a problem even before the coronavirus hit.

We still know so little about stem cells. The annual BMT reunion at City of Hope has been delayed this year, I believe this would be there 44th year, if I remember correctly. They still call it BMT because it all started with transplanting bone marrow, and at that time they didn't realize there were stem cells in that marrow, and that's what was doing the job. Many people continue to think about bone marrow transplants, but few if any of the time do they need the marrow anymore. Adult stem cells can be harvested out of the marrow, but it's more painful, but faster. They can also stimulate their production of the stem cells and remove them from the blood in a manner similar to doing leukapheresis, or collecting blood plasma.

I believe we're just touching the possibilities with placental cells, I suspect that ten years from now we'll be amazed at all the applications, I hope to be around to see it.
