Bone marrow cells are the diverse population of cells found within the soft tissue inside bones, where blood formation (hematopoiesis) takes place. They include hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells that give rise to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as supporting stromal and mesenchymal cells, and they are essential for oxygen transport, immune defense, and clotting. Bone marrow contains two main compartments: the red marrow, where active blood-cell production occurs, and the fatty yellow marrow. Hematopoietic stem cells in the marrow continuously replenish the blood and immune system, while marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells contribute to the supportive microenvironment and can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues. Because of these properties, bone marrow cells are central to the diagnosis and treatment of hematological disorders, and bone marrow or stem-cell transplantation is used to treat leukemias and other diseases. Examination of the marrow is also important for detecting malignant infiltration and abnormal cell populations. Research grouped under this topic reflects these themes, including investigation of neoplastic cells in canine bone marrow, monitoring mast-cell populations in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, cytogenetic abnormalities in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chromosomal findings in monoclonal gammopathy, the effects of chemotherapy on hematopoiesis, and applications of bone marrow and other mesenchymal stem cells in tissue repair.
