What is a Bone Marrow Transplant?
A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure
that involves replacing damaged or diseased bone
marrow with healthy stem cells to treat certain
cancers, blood disorders, or immune system
deficiencies.

Autologous transplant In this type, the
patient's own healthy bone marrow or stem cells
are collected before undergoing high-dose
chemotherapy or radiation. After the treatment,
the collected cells are reintroduced into the
patient's body to replenish the damaged or
destroyed marrow. Allogeneic transplant This
procedure involves using healthy bone marrow or
stem cells from a genetically matched donor,
typically a sibling, unrelated donor, or
sometimes from umbilical cord blood. The donor's
cells are transplanted into the recipient's body
to replace the unhealthy or destroyed
marrow. Umbilical cord blood transplant Stem
cells are collected from the umbilical cord and
placenta of a newborn baby immediately after
birth. These cells are stored in a cord blood
bank and can be used later as an alternative
source of stem cells for transplantation in
patients who need a bone marrow transplant but do
not have a matching donor available.

Purpose and conditions treated with bone marrow
transplant
Bone marrow transplants aim to treat various
conditions, including leukemia, lymphoma,
multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, and certain
inherited immune systems or metabolic disorders.
The procedure helps replace damaged or
dysfunctional bone marrow with healthy stem cells
to promote new blood cell production and restore
a healthier immune system.

Future Scopes
Future scopes in bone marrow transplants include
advancements in personalized medicine, reducing
transplant-related complications, and enhancing
success rates through improved matching
techniques. Expanding the use of alternative
stem cell sources like induced pluripotent stem
cells (iPSCs), and exploring gene editing
technologies for safer and more effective
treatments.
