Stem Cell Transplantation
Stem cell transplantation is a medical procedure used to treat and cure certain illnesses, such as cancers and some blood disorders. It is a form of regenerative medicine that replaces damaged or dysfunctional cells with healthy stem cells, which have the potential to rebuild, repair and restore tissue. In stem cell transplantation, the stem cells are typically taken from the patient's own body or from a donor, and can be sourced from either adult or embryonic tissue. The significance of stem cell transplantation lies in its potential to restore function and quality of life to those suffering from a range of diseases, while its uses range from treating cancer and immune system deficiencies, to repairing tissue damage and restoring vision.
