The mitochondrion produce a substance called adenosine triphosphate. It is also known as ATP. It is believed to be our source of energy. ATP's main purpose is to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism[2]. Metabolism is the sum of the physical and chemical changes that take place in living organisms.
Stem cell harvest. Stem cells used to be harvested from the bone marrow. That has now largely been abandoned in favour of harveting directly from the peripheral blood.
Stem cell transplant is the term commonly used to describe bone marrow transplant and transplants done with stem cells found in the blood. Stem cell transplants offer some patients the possibility of a cure, and others a longer period of disease-free survival. Your body cannot make the blood cells it needs because your bone marrow or stem cells have failed. 2  Your bone marrow or blood cells have become diseased. 3  In this case you need healthy stem cells to replace the diseased bone marrow/stem cells.
