Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma with Renal Failure: Friend or Foe?

abstract：:Stem cells isolated from adipose tissue show great therapeutic potential in veterinary medicine, but some points such as the use of fresh or cultured cells and route of administration need better knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF, n = 4) or allogeneic cultu...
