Park discusses how tem-cell transplants could help Fukushima plant workers. Because radioactive material tends to target rapidly dividing cells like those in the blood, Fukushima's workers may well benefit from similar transplants. But in this case, rather than extracting bone marrow, as doctors do when treating cancer patients, doctors would give volunteers an agent that draws blood stem cells from the marrow into the circulating bloodstream for collection.
