BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
ABOUT
Bone Marrow Transplantation or BMT is typically a medical procedure done to introduce healthy bone marrow cells as a replacement to the damaged bone marrow. Bone marrow is a soft spongy tissue inside the bone. The new blood cells are formed from certain immature cells existing inside the bone marrow and these immature cells are known as stem cells.
