�� DefinitionDefinitionAAny procedure where hematopoietic stem ny procedure where hematopoietic stem cells of any donor and any source are given to cells of any donor and any source are given to cells of any donor and any source are given to cells of any donor and any source are given to a recipient with intention of a recipient with intention of repopulating/replacing the hematopoietic repopulating/replacing the hematopoietic system in total or in partsystem in total or in part
History
• Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the mouse
• the radiation protection phenomenon (mid-1950s)
• Hematopoietic stem cell tranplantation in the dog• Hematopoietic stem cell tranplantation in the dog
• Hematopoietic stem cell tranlsplantation in human
patients
• 1959–1963 : first allogeneic HSCT in humans
• beginning of the Modern Era of HSCT: the end of 1960
