This isn’t new - HSCT has been around for a while, using your own stem cells, or umbilical cells (the last usually used for kids with haematological cancers). The possible advantage of using umbilical stem cells is greater likelihood of freedom from latent viruses but carries risk of your body ‘rejecting’ the cells - like when receiving an organ transplant, you need to make sure the immune subtypes match up. In either case, it involves myeloablation (using chemo to ‘wipe out’ your bone marrow after the stem cells have been harvested) and then re-transfusion of the stem cells. So carries some risks from that. HSCT is a highly effective treatment but jury is still out on whether it is more effective than ocrevus, tysabri, etc. It’s not a cure, but it can stop relapses/delay progression in many for 7-10 years at least usually. It’s available privately in a number of centres in England, or in Mexico/Moscow. A few people have been referred on the NHS if they fail on a highly effective DMD (again, Ocrevus/Tysabri).
