what is HSCT?
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is an established, non‑radiation chemotherapy treatment proven to halt the progression of neurological autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Its purpose is to “reboot” the immune system by eliminating the cells that are attacking the body, allowing new, healthy immune cells to develop and restore proper function.
