While research has uncovered many details about how blood cells function within bone marrow, the work of other cells existing in that space remained a relative mystery. Now, researchers from the ...
A bone marrow transplant, or stem cell transplant, places blood stem cells back into the body. The transplant replaces cells that cancer or treatments have destroyed. People may have a bone marrow ...
A new bone marrow imaging technique could change treatment for cancer, autoimmune disease and musculoskeletal disorders. Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a powerful new ...
Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...
In multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells build up inside bone marrow -- the spongy tissue inside large bones where blood cells are produced. Over time, myeloma cells cause damage to bones, kidneys, ...
Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...
Bone marrow transplants can be life-saving for patients suffering from certain types of cancer, blood disorders and other diseases — but for many patients, finding a match can take months or years.
From vampire legends to lab-grown tissue, the idea that young blood can reverse aging is no longer pure myth. A new study shows that proteins secreted by bone marrow cells, triggered by young blood, ...
Researchers discovered that chronic inflammation fundamentally remodels the bone marrow, allowing mutated stem cell clones to quietly gain dominance with age. Reprogrammed stromal cells and interferon ...
Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...
