Scf gfp/+ mice demonstrated GFP expression primarily by perivascular cells surrounding sinusoids throughout the bone marrow (Fig.1h-m). Through gene expression profiling‚ ding and his team found that Scf-GFP+ cells form a perivascular niche for the HSCs. In order to determine whether Scf is necessary and required by adult hematopoietic stem cells‚ Scf expression

In an allogeneic transplant stem cells are collected from a donor‚ related or unrelated to the patient‚ then transplanted into the patient. Stem cells can be collected in two different ways.

The donor’s or patient’s bone marrow is collected from the pelvis‚ femur or sternum‚ though the pelvis is the most common‚ and then infused into the patient via a central line. In a peripheral blood stem cell collection the donor or the patient

Immune System The organs of our immune system are located all throughout our bodies. The main organs of the immune system are bone marrow‚ the thymus‚ the tonsils‚ the spleen‚ and the lymph nodes. Bone marrow is the soft tissue that is found inside of most of our bones. Every cell of the human immune system originate from stem cells in the bone marrow. The bone marrow then goes through a process called hematopoiesis‚ which produces B-lymphocytes (B-cell)‚ immature thymocytes‚ red blood cells‚ white
