Stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic procedure in which stem cells are infused or implanted to restore or replace cells damaged by disease, injury, or treatment. The best-established form is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, used to rebuild the blood and immune system in conditions such as leukemia and other hematological disorders, while other forms apply stem cells in the broader context of regenerative medicine and tissue repair. In hematopoietic transplantation, central concerns include donor selection and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, the effect of allele mismatch on outcomes, the management of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies, and complications such as immune thrombocytopenia and infection, including the prevention of invasive fungal disease. Research published by the journal addresses these clinical issues alongside supportive care, such as nutrition feeding algorithms for children and adolescents undergoing transplantation, and the mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells. Beyond blood and marrow, the field overlaps with regenerative medicine and cell therapy, reflected in work on biocompatible scaffolds for pluripotent stem cell transplantation in three-dimensional neural culture, mesenchymal stem cells as a source of specialized cells, and emerging stem-cell therapies. Ethical questions surrounding modern stem-cell research and therapy also feature, underscoring how the topic combines transplantation biology, immunology, clinical management, and bioethics.
