History of Bone Marrow Transplants: First Successful Procedure
The first successful human bone marrow transplant was performed in 1956 by Dr. E. Donnall Thomas at the University of Colorado Hospital. The procedure treated a patient with leukemia using marrow from an identical twin, proving that hematopoietic stem cells could reconstitute the blood and immune system. Dr. Thomas received the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this pioneering work, which launched the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
