how to donate stem cells .. donate blood , separate it later is it ? ( sorry for sounding dumb)

@bachodi: First they would take the saliva (swab test) and then test it in the laboratory. if your DNA & other structure matches with the patient then they would contact the person.
These people are doing this part, once the territory gets established atleast you will know how many are interested & avaialble.
Yeah, the donation is similar to the blood one with a little different procedure & apparatus.
