Bone Marrow News and Research

RSS

Bone Marrow is the soft, sponge-like tissue in the center of most bones. It produces white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Innovative Approach Supercharges T Cells by Transferring Healthy Mitochondria

Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor microenvironments can drain their mitochondrial activity, leading to a condition known as T cell exhaustion.

Inflammation-Induced Epigenetic Changes Limit Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration

Researchers from the University of Michigan, Baylor College of Medicine, and other affiliated institutions have found that intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are permanently altered by inflammation in the gut, which limits the cells' capacity to repair the gut even after the inflammation has subsided.

Melbourne Researchers Achieve Breakthrough in Creating Human-Like Blood Stem Cells

Melbourne researchers have made a world first breakthrough into creating blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body.

Research Unlocks Secrets of Stem Cell Retention in Bone Marrow

A discovery by a three-member Albert Einstein College of Medicine research team may boost the effectiveness of stem-cell transplants, commonly used for patients with cancer, blood disorders, or autoimmune diseases caused by defective stem cells, which produce all the body's different blood cells. The findings, made in mice, were published today in the journal Science.

Critical NPC Protein Nup358 Linked to Myeloid Disorders

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels composed of multiple proteins that ferry molecules in and out of the nucleus, regulating many critical cellular functions, such as gene expression, chromatin organization and RNA processes that influence cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes carrying vincristine sulfate are effective in killing cancer stem cells

Whether loading vincristine sulfate into mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes could improve the targeted delivery of the drug specifically to cancer stem cells.

Herpes Gene Therapy Achieves 90% Viral Reduction in Pre-Clinical Studies

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have found in pre-clinical studies that an experimental gene therapy for genital and oral herpes removed 90% or more of the infection and suppressed how much virus can be released from an infected individual, which suggests that the therapy would also reduce the spread of the virus.

Research Sheds Light on Blood Cell Production in Mouse Skeleton

Imagine being able to count the different types of blood cells being formed inside the tiny bones of a mouse and pinpointing the strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are responsible for producing specific types of blood cells.

Reducing Iron May Reverse Stem Cell Aging

It is fascinating to learn how researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) have discovered a way to prevent or even reverse the function of hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells (HSCs) as they age.

UMass Amherst Study Shows Promise in Retraining Immune Cells for Targeting Aplastic Anemia

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently released a first-of-its-kind study that focuses on the rare autoimmune disorder aplastic anemia to understand how a subset of cells might be trained to correct the overzealous immune response that can lead to fatal autoimmune disorders.

Researchers Unveil New Mechanism of Immune Cell Training in Thymus Gland

Immune cells must learn not to attack the body itself. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism behind this: other immune cells, the B cells, contribute to the "training" of the T cells in the thymus gland.
