stem cell donor
Regenerative tissue source
A stem cell donor is a person who provides stem cells for transplantation into another person, typically to treat blood cancers or bone marrow disorders.
Donors may give cells extracted from bone marrow, blood, or umbilical cord tissue.
Unlike organ donation, stem cell donation usually doesn't require surgery and the donor's cells regenerate: She registered as a stem cell donor after her brother's leukemia diagnosis.
