Scientists have been working on a method to rapidly mature bone marrow cells in order to treat patients with immune deficiencies by slightly modifying the growth biology of the marrow cells.

in an experiment, these growth modified marrow cells were injected into a blood sample from a leukemia patient. what the researchers observed was awe inspiring and unexpected.

the growth modified marrow cells not only sought out and attacked Leukemia cells specifically, but transformed the Leukemia cells into "Dendritic Cells" which further matured to act similarly to antibodies in the blood.

within 24 hours, 15% of the Leukemia cells in the sample had been eliminated completely

That's very encouraging!
