Overview

Bone marrow is the soft tissue occupying the interior cavities of bones, where haematopoietic stem cells give rise to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in a process known as haematopoiesis. It exists as red marrow, which is actively blood-forming, and yellow marrow, which is largely fatty, and it also harbours mesenchymal stromal cells that shape the haematopoietic microenvironment. As the foundation of the blood and immune systems, bone marrow biology underpins much of haematology and regenerative medicine. Understanding how stem cells self-renew and differentiate, how the marrow niche regulates blood cell output, and how these processes fail in disease is essential to diagnosing and treating disorders such as leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma, and anaemias. Bone marrow and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains a major curative therapy for many of these conditions. This journal, dedicated to bone marrow biology, publishes research reflecting several of these aspects, including the disruption of haematopoiesis and erythropoietin resistance caused by chemotherapy, mesenchymal stem cell effects on tissue injury, plasma-cell disorders and complications after transplantation, monoclonal gammopathy, cytogenetic abnormalities in leukaemia, leukaemogenesis, refractory anaemia, and scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
