What is therapeutic transplantation?

Therapeutic transplantation refers to the medical procedure of transferring cells, tissues, or organs from one individual to another to treat or cure a disease, restore function, or improve the quality of life. This can include organ transplants, such as kidneys or hearts, as well as stem cell or tissue transplants for conditions like cancer or degenerative diseases. The ultimate goal is to replace damaged or diseased biological material with healthy counterparts to restore normal physiological functions. Success relies on careful matching and management to prevent rejection by the recipient's immune system.
