Cell proliferation in the bone marrow and thymus following partial bone marrow aspiration

Summary Aspiration of the one femoral bone marrow caused a significant rise of the cell population, arrested in colchicine-metaphase both of the bone marrow from the other femur and of the thymus.     

Histamine formation in bone marrow

Zusammenfassung Das Knochenmark der Ratte hat ein hohes Vermögen zur Histaminbildung durch Dekarboxylierung von Histidin.     

Protective action of irradiated bone marrow cells

Zusammenfassung Wurdein vitro röntgenbestrahltes Knochenmark (475r, 950 r, 1425 r) in letal bestrahlte Mäuse (LD 100/11=950 r) injiziert, so ergab sich: Isologes Knochenmark, mit 950 r bestrahlt, besitzt noch beachtliche Schutzwirkung; bestrahltes homologes und heterologes Knochenmark war weniger oder ganz inaktiv.     

Collagen synthesis by human bone marrow fibroblasts

Collagen synthesis was measured in fibroblast cultures derived from normal and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) bone marrow. Collagen production was higher in normal than in ALL fibroblasts. These cells elaborate type I and type III procollagens in a ratio that depends on cell density and whether cells originate from normal or ALL bone marrow.     

Graft versus host activity of bone marrow lymphocytes

Résumé Des suspensions de cellules provenant de la moëlle osseuse, ou des fractions cellulaires d'une moëlle osseuse d'une souche parentale ont été injectées dans la plante des pieds de rats hybrides (F₁). Le poids des nodules lymphatiques polités constitue un test sensible de la réaction greffe-receveur qui résulte de l'injection des cellules et montre qu'une telle réaction peut être provoquée par certains lymphocytes provenant du parenchyme de la moëlle.     

Acceleration of muscle regeneration by bone marrow cells

Summary Myogenesis was accelerated by addition of bone marrow cells to muscle minces cultures in diffusion chambers. This effect was inhibited by using gold suppressed bone Marrow cells.Acknowledgment. We thank Dr Z. Ben-Ishay and Mrs S. Sharon for the help with the preparation of the chambers and the bone marrow suspensions.     

Regulation of neutrophil trafficking from the bone marrow

Neutrophils are an essential component of the innate immune response and a major contributor to inflammation. Consequently, neutrophil homeostasis in the blood is highly regulated. Neutrophil number in the blood is determined by the balance between neutrophil production in the bone marrow and release from the bone marrow to blood with neutrophil clearance from the circulation. This review will focus on mechanisms regulating neutrophil release from the bone marrow. In particular, recent data demonstrating a central role for the chemokines CXCL12 and CXCL2 in regulating neutrophil egress from the bone marrow will be discussed.     

Androgens and erythropoiesis in bone marrow. II. Effect of testosterone propionate on59Fe concentration in erythrocytes and bone marrow

Résumé L'augmentation d'incorporation de⁵⁹Fe dans les globules rouge de rats auxquels on a donné du testosterone propionate est évidente dans la circulation périphérique du sang, 24 h après l'injection du⁵⁹Fe. Le rapport entre cette donnée et le temps de transfert des erythroblastes dans la moelle osseuse montre que les androgènes stimulent la maturation de normoblastes basophiliques et polychromatophiliques, plutôt que l'érythropoietine.

Preparative separation of nucleated cells from human bone marrow

Summary A comparison has been made between the separation of nucleated cells from human bone marrow aspirates by high mol.wt polymers and the buffy coat techniques.Acknowledgment. This investigation was supported by grant DHEW 5R01 CA 19997-02, awarded by the National Cancer Institute.     

Histidine decarboxylase in the bone marrow of the rat

Résumé Dans l'étude ci-dessus la formation d'histamine dans la moelle osseuse du rat adulte a été attribuée à une enzyme identique ou semblable à la décarboxylase d'histidine du rat foetal. Par conséquence, l'enzyme de la moelle osseuse diffère de l'enzyme qui, étant présente dans l'écorce rénale des animaux adultes, forme l'histamine.
