Overview

Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside bones where blood cells are produced, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, through the process of hematopoiesis. As the body's primary site of blood-cell formation, bone marrow is central to both normal physiology and the study of haematological disease. It contains hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to all blood lineages, as well as mesenchymal stromal cells that support the marrow microenvironment and have regenerative applications. Disorders involving the bone marrow include leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma and other plasma-cell disorders, anaemias, and disturbances of hematopoiesis caused by disease or by treatments such as chemotherapy. Bone marrow transplantation, in which diseased marrow is replaced with healthy hematopoietic cells, can be a lifesaving therapy for these conditions. Examination of bone marrow through aspiration and biopsy is essential for diagnosing and monitoring blood and bone-related diseases, and the marrow is also relevant to bone and mineral metabolism. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research reflecting these themes, including studies on neoplastic cells in bone marrow, the effects of mesenchymal stem cells on tissue injury, complications of multiple myeloma after transplantation, disruption of hematopoiesis by chemotherapeutic agents, and cytogenetic abnormalities in leukemia.
