Role of Bone Marrow Transfusion in Treating Critical Conditions

Bone marrow transplants, also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplants, are medical procedures that have revolutionized the treatment of various life-threatening conditions. They involve the transfer of healthy stem cells from a donor to a recipient, typically to treat diseases that affect the blood, immune system, or bone marrow. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue found within the cavities of bones, primarily in the hipbones, breastbone, and spine. It serves as the factory for blood cell production, churning out red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, essential for carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and clotting.
