title: Stem cell transplantation for autoimmune diseases.
abstract: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an increasingly used therapy for treatment of autoimmune diseases and severe immune-mediated disorders. We address some general concepts and principles in the development of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in order to understand the principles and design of safe autologous and allogeneic transplant regimens for these unique diseases.
