Stem cell therapy
 | This article is a stub. |
Stem cell therapy, in particular the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a potential treatment that has been suggested for ME/CFS.[1]

apoptosis a type of cell death in which a cell, in response to a threat, initiates a series of molecular steps that lead to its orderly death. This is one method the body uses to get rid of unneeded or abnormal cells. This form of cell suicide is also called programmed cell death.
