Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ.

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow (the soft, inner parts of certain bones where new blood cells are made). They are an important part of ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

EPO binding to EPO receptor on erythroid precursors in the bone marrow in turn induces their survival, cell division, and differentiation to ultimately enucleate, producing reticulocytes that mature ...

Colony-forming cell assays indicated that the leukemic bone marrow (BM) plasma inhibited erythroid colony formation, whereas they had no inhibitory effect on other types of colonies. Cytokine ...

The bone marrow, a vital part of our body, greatly affects our overall health. Located within our bones, this soft, fatty tissue is involved in producing red and white blood cells, platelets ...

Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration are procedures used to collect and test bone marrow---the soft, spongy tissue inside certain bones where blood cells are made. These tests are used to diagnose many ...

Aplastic anaemia is a rare but serious blood disorder in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells—red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This condition can lead to ...

Dr. Derek Loneman: Examination of the bone marrow–biopsy specimen (Figure 3) revealed an age-adjusted hypercellular marrow with an atypical infiltrate of medium-sized cells with round-to-oval ...

Blood vessels. These are the arteries, veins, and capillaries that blood flows through. Bone marrow. This soft, fatty tissue is found inside bones where blood cells are made. Lymph nodes. These small ...
