Bone Marrow Stem Cells Scholarly Journal

 Bone marrow stem cells are the stem cells found in the bone marrow, a spongy tissue in the bones. These stem cells become red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. These are the most studied stem cells. These are used in bone marrow transplant for leukemia and hematopoietic diseases. These stem cells are also used for the treatment of diabetes, heart failure and other degenerative diseases. Blood and therefore the system that forms it, referred to as the hematopoietic system, contains many cell types with specialized functions Red blood cells (erythrocytes) carry oxygen to the tissues. Platelets (derived from megakaryocytes) help prevent bleeding. Granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils) and macrophages (collectively referred to as myeloid cells) fight infections from bacteria, fungi, and other parasites like nematodes (ubiquitous small worms). Some of these cells also are involved in tissue and bone remodeling and removal of dead cells. B-lymphocytes produce antibodies, while T-lymphocytes can directly kill or isolate by inflammation cells recognized as foreign to the body, including many virus-infected cells and cancer cells. Many blood cells are short-lived and wish to be replenished continuously; the typical human requires approximately 100 billion new hematopoietic cells every day . The continued production of those cells depends directly on the presence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), the last word , and only, source of these cells.
