Bone Marrow Transplantation Impact Factor

A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure performed to replace the damaged or destroyed bone marrow by disease , infection, or chemotherapy. This procedure involves transplanting stem cells from the blood, which travel to the bone marrow where new blood cells are produced and new marrow growth promoted. Bone marrow is the fatty, spongy tissue within bones. Bone marrow also contains immature stem cells that form the blood, known as hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs. Most cells are differentiated already, and can only make copies of themselves. These stem cells are non-specialized however, meaning they can multiply through cell division and either remain stem cells or differentiate and mature into many different types of blood cells. The HSC found in the bone marrow will create new blood cells all the way through your life. A bone marrow transplant substitutes healthy cells for the damaged stem cells. This helps your body make enough white blood cells, platelets or red blood cells to prevent infection, bleeding or anemia
