A bone marrow biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect a small sample of bone marrow, which is the soft, spongy tissue inside your bones where blood cells are made. This test helps a physician ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

The authors provide a thorough investigation of the interaction of megakaryocytes (MK) with their associated extracellular matrix (ECM) during maturation; they provide evidence that the existence of a ...

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, ...

The review of more than 60 scientific articles showed that microplastics, among other effects, can stimulate the formation of osteoclasts, cells specialized in degrading bone tissue. Microplastics ...

From vampire legends to lab-grown tissue, the idea that young blood can reverse aging is no longer pure myth. A new study shows that proteins secreted by bone marrow cells, triggered by young blood, ...
