Treatment of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) usually involves a bone marrow transplant. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are testing ways to make transplant using unrelated donor cells from umbilical cord blood safer and more effective. We hope these procedures will reduce post-transplant complications and improve transplant outcomes.

Women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) needed for a research study at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Researchers want to learn more about how a medication may be used to help your body's insulin work better and if this can improve your overall metabolic health.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek volunteers, 21-60 years old, to participate in a study researching if a gene and smoking affect drinking. All study-related tests and procedures are provided at no cost to the study participant. Compensation may be provided.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that damages the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This leads to increased physical disability over time. The disease is lifelong once it begins. Researchers want to learn more about the stages of multiple sclerosis and follow them until a person's death to understand how the physical and clinical signs of MS relate to its changes over time.

Are you interested in being part of a study that explores the patterns of brain activity that exist during sleep? Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy adult volunteers for a research study using MRI to study brain activity in adults while they sleep.
