Heterologous bone grafting has increased considerably due to improved preservation and the development of bone banks. We analyzed the forensic aspects of organ procurement, transformation, processing and preservation specifically related to bone grafts. Topics considered included the organization of the responsible authorities and their activities in the context of ethical medical considerations. The surgeon is often faced with a complex heterogeneous situation without clear legal requirements.

Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinct adipose subtype comprising more than 10% of fat mass in healthy humans. However, the functions and pathophysiological correlates of this tissue are unclear, and its genetic determinants remain unknown. Here, we use deep learning to measure bone marrow adiposity in the femoral head, total hip, femoral diaphysis, and spine from MRI scans of approximately 47,000 UK Biobank participants, including over 41,000 white and over 6300 non-white participants.

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, characterized by bone marrow infiltration with plasma cells and lymphocytes. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in mediating WM cell biology, but the effects of macrophages on WM biology remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of macrophages on WM growth and survival and identified a novel role for transcription factor GLI3 in macrophage polarization.
