The paediatric stem cell transplant and cellular therapy programme at St Louis Children's Hospital, treating children with blood, immune and metabolic disorders.
The Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program at St Louis Children's Hospital is a hospital-based paediatric service at One Children's Place in St Louis, Missouri. It is not a private regenerative medicine clinic: the site describes it as a transplant programme for children with serious blood, immune and metabolic disease.
According to the hospital, the programme delivers three related kinds of treatment. In a stem cell transplant the cells are drawn from blood; in a bone marrow transplant they are harvested from the marrow itself; and in cellular therapy the cells are collected, modified and then given back to the patient.
The site states that cells may come from the child's own body, from a tissue-matched family member, from a matched unrelated donor, or from an identical twin. The conditions it names are haematological and immunological rather than orthopaedic — among them leukaemias, lymphomas, aplastic anaemia and other bone marrow failure disorders, immune deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and haemoglobin disorders including sickle cell disease.
The hospital also describes an active research arm, saying it runs clinical trials testing new treatments and examining whether existing therapies can be extended to further conditions, and that it works with other paediatric transplant centres across the country. The programme pages name a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, therapists and research coordinators.
The conditions named by the hospital are blood, immune and metabolic disorders of childhood.
The hospital describes cell therapy here in the established transplant sense — replacing or correcting a child's blood-forming system — rather than as an injection-based regenerative treatment.
The programme's team page names two consultant physicians; the wider team is described but not listed by name.
The programme sits within St Louis Children's Hospital at One Children's Place in St Louis, Missouri, and appointments are booked on 314-454-5437 or 800-678-5437. The site describes a multidisciplinary team around the transplant service, including nurse practitioners, social workers, therapists and research coordinators, but it does not describe transplant unit bed numbers or the physical premises in any detail.
The pages read say nothing about cost, fees or insurance for the transplant programme.
