peripheral blood stem cells

    0.01 sec.
peripheral blood stem cells,
stem cells found in the peripheral blood rather than the bone marrow. Their numbers can be artificially increased by exposure to hematopoietic growth factors so that they can be extracted before myeloablative chemotherapy and later infused as an autologous bone marrow transplantation. Also called peripheral blood progenitor cells.
