1. Well, in the case of auto immune diseases like leukemias and lymphomas, the cancer is in the bone marrow. The marrow (baby blood cells) are mal forming. You go through chemo and radiation to kill all the bone marrow and existing blood cells, then get a transfusion of donor stem cells. These marrow stem cells travel through the blood settle into the bones, and start growing new marrow and blood cells. These cells are healthy, bc they came from a healthy person. In this case, www.marrow.org has a lot of info
2. You should first figure out what type of stem cell you are talking about. There's are different types of stem cell researches. Some are worth while investigating, others are not.
