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 ...

Bone marrow fills the cavities in your bones and produces blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight germs, and platelets help blood clot. Bone marrow disorders include ...

A national, multicenter clinical trial of low-dose haploidentical (half-matched) bone marrow transplant to treat severe sickle cell disease found the treatment to be safe and curative for adults with ...

Resolvin-D2 (RvD2), when added ex vivo, acted directly on the bone marrow to induce a specific increase in monocyte/macrophage progenitors and reduce steatosis and collagen deposition. The resolution ...

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 ...

Researchers are exploring new ways to achieve weight loss without the side effects that often accompany it.

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Anemia often goes hand-in-hand with multiple myeloma. Sometimes, the cancer causes the anemia. And sometimes, the cancer treatment does. But it's possible to resolve it and feel better. (Photo Credit: ...

Aging is associated with chronic, nonresolving inflammation, or 'inflammaging,' that can lead to tissue dysfunction. New findings reveal insights into the cellular programs and factors that promote ...
