    Which bone marrow transplant is where you receive the bone marrow transplant from yourself?

    • No-donor

    • Allogeneic

    • Autologus

    • Aphoristic

    • There is no such type of transplant.

    Correct Answer
    A. Autologus
    Explanation
    Autologous bone marrow transplant is a type of transplant where the patient receives their own bone marrow. In this procedure, the patient's bone marrow is collected before undergoing high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The collected bone marrow is then stored and later infused back into the patient's body. This type of transplant eliminates the risk of rejection or graft-versus-host disease, as the patient's own cells are used. It is commonly used in the treatment of certain cancers and other diseases.

Although there were earlier attempts at bone marrow transplantation in the late 19th and early 20th century, they were not successful. It was not until the mid-20th century that advancements in medical technology and understanding of immunology allowed for successful bone marrow transplants.
