CINCINNATI, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine being able to count the different types of blood cells being formed inside the tiny bones of a mouse and pinpointing the strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are responsible for producing specific types of blood cells.

Key Points: 
  • "Meanwhile, efforts to stimulate production of certain blood cell types may be dramatically improved by focusing on specific bone types."
  • The key discoveries reported in the paper include:
    New tools allowing visualization of blood production inside the bone, allowing defining the basic anatomy of blood cell formation.
  • Among several examples: blood loss triggered rapid red blood cell production in the sternum, tibia, vertebrae, and humerus -- but not in the skull.
  • Importantly, the process developed for this study allowed the team to analyze blood cell development in multiple parts of the skeleton.
