    transplanting stem cells from a genetically similar donor

    Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a medical procedure where a patient receives stem cells from a genetically similar, but not identical, donor. These stem cells can develop into different types of blood cells and are used to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow, often in the treatment of conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, or severe aplastic anemia.
