Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is the soft spongy tissue that lies
within the hollow interior of long bones. In
adults, marrow in large bones produces new blood
cells. Bone marrow forms around 4 of total body
weight (around 2.6 kg in a healthy adult).
3
Types of bone marrow
There are two types of bone marrow
  • red marrow that is responsible for producing red
    blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
  • yellow marrow consisting mainly of fat cells

4
Functions of bone marrow
  • Red blood cells (erythrocytes) carry oxygen to
    the tissues
  • Platelets or thrombocytes (derived from
    megakaryocytes) help prevent bleeding and aid in
    clotting of blood.
  • Granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils and
    eosinophils) and macrophages (collectively known
    as myeloid cells) fight infections from bacteria,
    fungi, and other parasites. They also remove dead
    cells and remodel tissue and bones.
  • B-lymphocytes produce antibodies, while
    T-lymphocytes can directly kill or isolate
    invading cells

5
What is Bone Marrow Transplant?
  • A bone marrow or cord blood transplant is a
    process to replace unhealthy bone marrow with
    healthy bone marrow. Bone marrow transplants can
    be used to treat patients with
  • life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia
  • diseases which result in bone marrow failure like
    aplastic anemia
  • other immune system or genetic diseases

How a bone marrow transplant works?
An autologous transplant is a way to treat cancer
using very high doses of chemotherapy that
destroy the bone marrow as a side effect. The
autologous blood cells replace the damaged
marrow. This is how autologous transplants are
used to fight certain types of cancers such as
lymphoma. An allogeneic transplant also treats
cancers of the blood, and offers the added
benefit of using the donors immune system to
recognize and destroy cancer cells. Allogeneic
transplant is also used to treat some
non-cancerous diseases such as sickle cell
anemia. In non-cancerous diseases, the transplant
replaces defective marrow cells with the donors
healthy cells.
