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.

Biologists unravel the mystery behind nuclear anomaly in blood cancer cells

The mystery is being unraveled of why the control centers, or nuclei, of certain blood cancer cells have a distinctly odd shape.

Researchers discover abnormal gene mutations that lead to cancer development

The reason why the control centers, or nuclei, of certain blood cancer cells, have a peculiar structure is still a mystery.

Two distinct classes of stem cells drive treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is caused by two distinct classes of stem cells and identified possible therapeutic approaches that target these cells.

Using sound waves to turn stem cells into bone cells

Researchers have used sound waves to turn stem cells into bone cells, in a tissue engineering advance that could one day help patients regrow bone lost to cancer or degenerative disease.

Study shows how the commensal oral microbiome can regulate alveolar bone health

It is becoming increasingly clear that the human microbiome – the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on and within us – significantly contributes to our health.

One-time infusion of stem cells from bone marrow improves sepsis survival in mice

A one-time infusion of stem cells from bone marrow improves the survival of mice with sepsis, shows a study published today in eLife.

In vivo tracking of unlabeled stem cells using sugars

A Johns Hopkins Medicine scientist who spent 30 years figuring out how to put chemical labels into cells to track their movement in living tissues has found that certain self-renewing stem cells have built-in tracers -; made out of sugars -; that can do the job without added chemical "labels" when injected into mouse brains.

Leukemia-on-a-chip; The Future of Preventing Therapy Resistance?

We speak to Dr. Chao Ma, one of the speakers at SLAS 2022, about his groundbreaking 'leukemia-on-a-chip' technology and its future within therapy resistance.

300 million grant enables the establishment of new international stem cell research center

A grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation of up to 300 million euro now enables the establishment of a major international research center focused on stem cell medicine.

Researchers develop novel technique to monitor remote immune mechanisms

The human immune system works hard to maintain an individual’s health and protect against viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, and cancerous cells.

Researchers regenerate cartilage using novel protein fragment

The existing methods for the regeneration of injured cartilage generate tissue that breaks down. This deterioration eventually leads to osteoarthritis—the commonly seen form of arthritis—affecting over 32.5 million grown-ups in the United States, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Immune cells utilize the body’s fat stores to combat infection, says study

A recent study carried out by the University of East Anglia and Quadram Institute shows how immune cells utilize the body’s fat stores to combat infection.

Next-generation sequencing for minimal residual disease proven more sensitive than flow cytometry

In pediatric and young adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), DNA sequencing-based detection of residual disease between three and 12 months accurately identified all patients who would eventually relapse, while other methods were less predictive.
