Hematopoietic Stem Cells Division The ability to divide symmetrically to generate identical daughters is a feature of most cells, including hematopoietic stem cells. However, the multipotent stem cell possesses an added ability to undergo asymmetric cell divisions, yielding one committed progenitor daughter and one stem cell daughter, or two differentiating […]
The Concept of Mother cell or Bone Marrow Stem Cells Although the concept of a common “mother cell” of all blood elements in the adult dates to Maximov in 1909, and its potential for participation in disease as proposed by Danchakoff in 1916, the basic concepts of a hierarchical organization of […]
The Embryonic origin of Bone Marrow Stem Cells The ontogeny of Bone Marrow Stem Cells is the focus of much attention. In fetal development the manufacture of blood occurs in various organs but after birth this function is subsumed by the marrow. Current evidence identifies early hematopoietic cells both in […]

Technique of Bone Marrow Aspiration What you need to know about your anatomy before Bone Marrow Aspiration At birth, all bones contain hematopoietic marrow. Fat cells begin to replace hemopoietic marrow in the extremities in the fifth to seventh year. By adulthood, the hemopoietic marrow is limited to the axial […]
What are the indications of Bone Marrow Biopsy? The International Council for Standardization in Hematology has published guidelines for bone marrow biopsy to promote consistency in performance and reporting. Although bone marrow biopsy techniques is safe, it should be performed with a clear idea as to how the results will help distinguish the […]
Bone marrow: What you need to know! The bone marrow, located in the medullary cavity of bone, is the sole site of effective hematopoiesis in humans. The bone marrow produces approximately six billion cells per kilogram of body weight per day. Hematopoietically active (red) marrow regresses after birth until late […]
What is Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia? Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia is a variant of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, which is called M3 in the FAB classification and acute promyelocytic leukemia in the WHO classification, occurs at any age and constitutes approximately 10 percent of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia cases. This subtype of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia occurs […]
