In the bone marrow of a patient, healthy stem cell are not formed. Stem cell present in our bone marrow are not the stem cells that are present in our blood. They work like a cell factory in our body, which males a new cells and gives them specific roles or jobs. Meaning in our body, which cell will make heart cells and which cell will make blood cells. But many times due to DNA damage the cell making factory becomes defective. Now if the cell factory is defective then the cells that are made in it will also be defective. And in such a way these defective stem cell in the body of a healthy patient will make blood cellls by mistake, which do not have any specific role in his body. They just take away the nutrition of other healthy cells and keep growing, and become a bureden for the body. And this is how a person gets blood cancer.
There is only one cure for this problem, which is a permanent cure, and that is stem cell transplantation. in this, doctor collect stem cells from another person and inject them into the body or blood cancer patient. So that, a healthy stem cells of the donor can make new normal blood cells but there is a huge problem . his process seems very simple when it is actually vey tough. It is the reason for this , we did not have a solution to it yet. And such fatalities were high from blood cancer. So' far s human being it is difficult to get a match between stem cells.
In fact, out of 1 million of stem cells, every human can become a matching stem cell donor and the reason for this is because every human's cell have HLA Human Leukocyte Antigen which are different arrangements of proteins because of which we all make HLA group like blood groups. HLA is the ID card of our cells it is a protein structure present in all the cell of the body including stem cells with the help of which our immune system recognizes the difference between our foreign cell like bacteria,
There is a German based non profit organization called DKMS, which is creating a database of stem cell donors to save the lives of these cancer patients so that any blood cancer patient can get a stem cell donor without waiting time. So far, 12 million people in the world have registered for this and stem cell donors are still being added to it . In fact many countries like Germany, US, UK and South Africa they have expanded this database and recently they have chosen India for the expansion of this database the have chosen the stem cell donor database center BMST which works on their vision and together with medical services trust. They have started a simple process this process sees very effective and simple safe.
First of all you have to go to the offical site www.dkms-bmst.org DKMS BMST and register within a few days of registering . You will get a swap kit at your home which will be absolutely free which will have clean cotton buds and an instruction manual following the instruction given in that manual. You just to take a sample of your spit and then with the help of evelope given in that kit post and done. Here your work is done . Then your sample will go to Germany and there its HLA type will be found. This whole process will take about 40 days and afte 40 days, you will get an email that yes you have successfully become stem cell donor and you registered in data base and if you want to know HLA type. Then regarding that also you can ask them in mail and don't forget to know HLA type commerically if you go out to any hospital them it will cist you 6000 rupees But here you don't have to go to any organization every thing will be done free
