Bone marrow biopsy in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia shows three types of lesions: lympho-plasmocytic and reticular infiltration, which is the most common, reticular infiltration, and aplastic marrow, more seldom. In all cases the reticulinic network is increased and thickened. These lesions are diffuse or nodular. Diffuse infiltration is more severe and has a median duration of 62 months instead of 82 months in nodular infiltration.

Aims: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) are a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells that have been widely used in experimental therapies for patients with various diseases, including fractures.Activation of angiogenesis is believed to be one of the major modes of action of BM-MNCs; however, the essential mechanism by which BM-MNCs activate angiogenesis remains elusive. This study aimed to demonstrate that BM-MNCs promote bone healing by enhancing angiogenesis through direct cell-to-cell interactions via gap junctions, in addition to a previously reported method.

Human Oncostatin M deficiency underlies an inherited severe bone marrow failure syndrome.

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a cytokine with the unique ability to interact with both the OSM receptor (OSMR) and the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR). On the other hand, OSMR interacts with IL31RA to form the interleukin-31 receptor. This intricate network of cytokines and receptors makes it difficult to understand the specific function of OSM.

Background: The effects of ionizing radiation (IR) involve a highly orchestrated series of events in cells, including DNA damage and repair, cell death, and changes in the level of proliferation associated with the stage of the cell cycle. A large number of existing studies in literature have examined the activity of genes and their regulators in mammalian cells in response to high doses of ionizing radiation. Although there are many studies, the research in effect of low doses of ionizing radiation remains limited.

Folate metabolism in myelofibrosis: a missing key?

Ann Hematol

Folates serve as key enzyme cofactors in several biological processes. Folic acid supplementation is a cornerstone practice but may have a "dark side". Indeed, the accumulation of circulating unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) has been associated with various chronic inflammatory conditions, including cancer.

The bone marrow of immunocompromised patients may exhibit abnormalities due to the underlying disease, adverse treatment effects, and/or complications arising from either source. Such complexity poses a significant diagnostic challenge, particularly in children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice when evaluating bone marrow in these patients.
