1. Bone Marrow Transplant
The National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom presents this collection of resources that demonstrate the importance of bone marrow transplantation therapy and how stem cell donors contribute to the treatment process. Included along with basic information about the physical structure of bone marrow and the role of stem cells in preserving the body against diseases and injuries, is a discussion of medical innovations related to transplantation techniques such as cord blood donation.

2. Guidelines Target Stem Cell Medical Tourism
In this article from the American Medical Association, Kevin B. O'Reilly describes the increasing number of medical travelers who are at risk because of stem cell therapies. It is the print and online news publication for physicians published by the American Medical Association. No other single publication covers the same spectrum of medical news. It has a large national circulation that cuts across geographic regions, practice settings and medical specialties.

===3. NCI Understanding Cancer Series: Blood Stem Cell Transplants === The importance of stem cells in bone marrow transplant therapy is discussed in this tutorial produced by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Part of the NCI "Understanding Cancer" series, the information features full color drawings that explain the structure and function of stem cells, the procedures that allow medical personnel to retrieve them from human donors to replace the cells in damaged bone marrow, and possible risk factors and complications for patients. It has very clear, attractive and detailed slides.

===4. Stem Cell Transplant (Peripheral Blood, Bone Marrow, and Cord Blood Transplants) === The American Cancer Society offers this medical guide featuring a review of bone marrow transplants (BMT), peripheral blood stem cell transplants (PBSCT), and other therapies used to treat cancer. In addition to physical descriptions of the properties of blood cells and their functions within bone marrow, there is a list of terms related to transplant procedures. Detailed information on patient diagnosis appears in question and answer format.

5. What Are Some Issues In Stem Cell Research?
Medical technologies are expanding rapidly in today's world, and one of these potential arenas is using stem cell technology for health care. Investigate the risks and ethical responsibilities of stem cell therapy. Explore the debate, so that you can make an informed decision about the benefits and consequences of such research. Consider ethical, legal, and social issues as you look at outcomes, regulation, and the impact of stem cell technology. This educational resources provide accurate and unbiased information about topics in genetics, bio science and health. Designed for non-research audiences, they are jargon-free, target multiple learning styles, and often convey concepts through animation and interactivity.

===6. What Is a Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant? === The collection of articles in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Diseases and Conditions Index (DCI) analyze the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the heart, lungs, and blood. Here you will find information about blood marrow and stem cell transplant therapies, including an overview of causes, risk factors and specific behaviors related to cancers and anemias that affect red blood cells. It also provides links to other Information about blood and marrow stem cell transplants.
