The solution lies in [...] cells are HLA-compatible, i.e. have the same tissue characteristics as the recipients," explains Professor Dr. Britta Eiz-Vesper, immunologist at the MHH Institute for Transfusion Medicine and Transplant [...] means we are well on our way from a non-treatable disease to a successful PML therapy," emphasises Professor Skripuletz. This is all the more important, he says, as the disease is probably too seldom in the
