Popis: Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are a collection of immunological disorders in which the immune system responds to self-antigens by producing autoantibodies or self-sensitized cells. Current treatments are unable to cure ADs, and achieving long-term drug-free remission remains a challenging task. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) stands out from other therapies by specifically targeting ADs that target various cell subpopulations, demonstrating notable therapeutic benefits and resulting in sustained drug-free remission. Since different ADs have distinct mechanisms of action, the comprehensive understanding of how HSCT works in treating ADs is crucial. This review provides a detailed overview of the latest research and clinical applications of HSCT in treating ADs, offering new insights for clinicians aiming to optimize its use for ADs management.
