Bone Marrow
It plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell formation.
Bone marrow contains stem cells that can differentiate into various blood cell types, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Understanding bone marrow biology is essential for the study and treatment of hematological disorders, such as leukemia, anemia, and immune system dysfunction.
Researchers can leverage PubCompare.ai's AI-driven protocol comparison tool to optimize their bone marrow research, enhancing expereiements and improving reproducibility and accuracy.

Example 9
In a preferred embodiment, endogenous cells are transfected with vectors such as those described herein in vivo by introduction of the therapeutic vector(s) into the host blood, tissues, nervous system, bone marrow, etc. The greatest benefit may be achieved by modifying a large number of endogenous target cells. This may be accomplished by using an appropriately-sized, catheter-like device, or needle to inject the therapeutic vector(s) into the venous or arterial circulation, into a specific tissue, such as muscle tissue, or into the nervous system. In a preferred embodiment, the virus is pseudotyped with VSV-G envelope glycoprotein and native HIV-1 env proteins.
Example 25
In a preferred embodiment, blood stem/progenitor cells, and target cells are transfected with the therapeutic vector(s) (or associated therapeutic virus) in vivo by introduction of the therapeutic vector(s) into the host blood, tissues, or bone marrow, etc. The greatest benefit may be achieved by modifying a large number of endogenous target and stem/progenitor cells. This may be accomplished by using an appropriately-sized, catheter-like device, or needle to inject the therapeutic vector(s) into the venous or arterial circulation. In a preferred embodiment, the virus is pseudotyped with VSV-G envelope glycoprotein and native HIV-1 env proteins.
Example 7
Tumor-Derived MSC-Like Lymphoma Stromal Cells are Immunosuppressive
Since the tumor cells in lymphoma are not adherent, it is possible to isolate tumor stromal cells from lymphomas developed in p53+/− mice. It was observed that these cells can be passaged in vitro and can be differentiated into adipocytes and osteoblast-like cells. Interestingly, like bone marrow derived MSCs, these tumor stromal cells are also immunosuppressive and can effectively inhibit the proliferation of ant-CD3-activated splenocytes. This immunosuppressive effect was also dependent on IFNγ+TNF α and NO, since anti-IFNγ IFNγ and iNOS inhibitors could reverse the immunosuppressive effect.
Example 26
Blood cells, such as mature peripheral blood T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, T cell progenitors, macrophage-monocyte progenitor cells, and/or pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (such as those found in umbilical cord blood and occupying bone marrow spaces) as well as other stem/progenitor cells can be transfected using the therapeutic vector(s) in vitro. Appropriate concentrations of the therapeutic vector(s) may be those consistent with Browning et al., 1999. Subsequently, cells are expanded (propagated) in vitro, and are then transferred to the host via introduction of the cells to the venous or arterial circulation using an intravenous needle or catheter. Subsequently, cells transfected with the therapeutic vectors are able to “home” to the bone marrow and other tissues.

The diaphysis of the femur was defined by removing 20% off the top and bottom of the femur. Then, the principal inertia axis of the remaining part was calculated to identify the shaft axis. The neck axis was defined by fitting a least-squares cylinder through surface nodes of the femoral neck. The longitudinal axis of this cylinder was constrained to pass through the femoral head center. The AVA was calculated as the angle between the neck axis and the medial-lateral knee axis obtained from STAPLE-Toolbox (Modenese and Renault, 2021 (link)) in the transverse plane. The NSA was computed as the angle between the neck axis and shaft axis in 3D space.

More about "Bone Marrow"
This vital tissue contains stem cells that can differentiate into various blood cell types, including erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets).
Understanding the biology of bone marrow is essential for the study and treatment of hematological disorders, such as leukemia, anemia, and immune system dysfunctions.
Researchers can leverage the power of AI-driven tools like PubCompare.ai's protocol comparison feature to optimize their bone marrow research, enhancing experiments and improving reproducibility and accuracy.
When conducting bone marrow studies, it's important to consider the use of essential cell culture components like fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin/streptomycin, penicillin, DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium), streptomycin, α-MEM (Alpha Minimum Essential Medium), L-glutamine, and RPMI 1640 (Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium).
These supplements and media can play a crucial role in supporting the growth and differentiation of bone marrow-derived cells.
Additionally, the use of growth factors like M-CSF (Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) and GM-CSF (Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) can be beneficial in promoting the proliferation and maturation of specific blood cell lineages derived from bone marrow stem cells.
By leveraging the insights and tools provided by PubCompare.ai, researchers can optimize their bone marrow experiments, leading to more reproducible and accurate results that advance the understanding and treatment of hematological conditions.
