Stem cell transplantation is a transplantation technique which has involved in keeping healthy stem cells by removing unhealthy ones. The top open access journals are peer reviewed scholarly journals of transplantation. There are different types of stem cell transplantations which includes, autologous, allogeneic and syngeneic. Stem cell transplantation which involves the use of cells from same body known as autologous stem cell transplantation, Stem cell transplantation which involves the use of cells from donor called allogeneic stem cell transplantation and which involves the use of cells from an identical twin called syngeneic stem cell transplantation.
