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 ...

EMBL scientists discovered self-sustaining inflammatory circuits in the bone marrow stem cell microenvironment that precede blood cancers. The illustration shows cancer cells against a background of ...

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, ...

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

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 ...

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, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Without even thinking about it, the bone marrow in your body is ...

MPNs involve overproduction of blood cells, while MDS results in poorly formed cells, affecting blood cell function and counts. Diagnosis requires blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and genetic testing ...
