allogeneic transplant

An allogeneic transplant is a medical procedure where a patient receives healthy blood-forming cells, called stem cells, from a donor. This is often used to treat diseases like leukemia or other blood disorders. The donor's cells help replace the patient's diseased or damaged cells, supporting the immune system and restoring normal blood production. Before the transplant, the patient usually undergoes treatment to weaken their own immune system, reducing the chance of rejection. The success of this procedure depends on factors like donor compatibility and the patient's overall health.
