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 ...

Bone marrow donation represents a crucial medical procedure that saves countless lives each year. Despite its importance in treating various life-threatening diseases, many people remain unclear about ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a platform that emulates human bone marrow's native environment. This breakthrough addresses a critical need in medical science, as animal studies often fail to fully ...
