Durham, NC - When leukemia strikes an older person, it is in part due to the aging of his or her hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These immature cells can develop into all types of blood cells, ...

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 ...

Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a lab. This development could lead to simpler pharmaceutical drug testing, closer study of immune system ...

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 ...

THE essential function of the bone marrow is to provide circulating cellular elements by a continual process of proliferation and maturation. In aplastic anemia, regardless of the underlying etiology, ...

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 ...

Myelosuppression, or bone marrow suppression, is when there are fewer red and white blood cells and platelets due to reduced bone marrow activity. It can affect people with blood cancers and those ...

Breast cancers frequently spread to the bone, establishing tumors that are largely impervious to treatment and are associated with poor patient prognoses. A deficiency in the oxygen-carrying capacity ...
