Medical Journals In Bone Marrow Transplant
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body, including the hip and thigh bones. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. Many people with blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and other life-threatening diseases, rely on
bone marrow or cord blood transplants to survive. Healthy
bone marrow and blood
cells are needed in order to live. When the disease affects
bone marrow so that it can no longer function effectively, a marrow or cord blood transplant could be the best treatment option; for some patients, it is the only potential cure.
Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) is a useful strategy for the treatment of leukemia, severe combined immune deficiency, enzyme deficiencies, autoimmune disease, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, BMT plays an important role in the induction of immune tolerance in organ transplantation. Bone marrow is a spongy tissue, and is made up of Hematopietic
Stem Cells (HSCs), Mesenchymal
Stem Cells (MSCs), and various blood cells. HSCs differentiate into common myeloid- and lymphoid-precursor
cells and then terminally differentiate into erythrocytes, monocytes, platelets, neutrophils, dendritic
cells and other cells.
