Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a medical procedure in which damaged or diseased bone marrow is replaced with healthy bone marrow cells. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found in the center of bones, and it is responsible for producing blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells are crucial for various functions in the body, including oxygen transportation, immune system support, and blood clotting.

Bone marrow transplantation is a life-saving treatment for patients with certain types of cancers, blood disorders, and immune system diseases. The procedure is typically performed when the patient's bone marrow is unable to produce healthy blood cells due to disease, genetic disorders, or damage caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
