So many of you have asked how you can help, and more than cookies, cards, and balloons, we desperately need to find a bone marrow match for Michelle. We would [...] | | By: Imprint TALK: Asian Pop Culture Blog | | |
| | A Bone Marrow Disease With a Brighter Prognosis | | 2008-03-24 05:41:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- Blood is life. And the rare disease known as aplastic anemia robs the body of life by robbing the body of blood.The aplastic anemia patient's blood thins as the bone marrow slows its production of blood cells. The results can range from chronic fatigue to heart disease or from endless infections to cuts that won't clot, depending on the type of blood cells that are lacking.But there's hope: Considered fatal as recently as two decades ago, aplastic anemia is becoming a far more manageable disease. Advances in drug therapies and improvements in the field of transplantation have slashed the death toll, allowing patients to live longer, fuller lives."We are getting better at treating aplastic anemia, either in getting rid of it or treating its symptoms," said Dr. Jaroslaw P. Maciejewski, with the Cleveland Clinic's Department of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders.And those advances are helping doctors gain greater insights into other, more prevalent, health condit | | By: Integrative Medicine (CAM) Blog | | |

| Revlimid - New Survival Standard for Bone Marrow Cancer | | 2007-11-21 22:43:55 | | Researchers from two large, international clinical trials show “unprecedented†survival for patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that occurs in the blood-making cells of bone marrow.
The studies demonstrate thatwith Revlimid® (an oral cancer drug), all measures of myeloma showed significant improvement in patients. This new class of drugs is a critical advance toward helping [...] | | By: Health blog | | |
| | Bone Marrow Stem Cells May Cure Eye Disease | | 2007-05-15 13:55:00 | | Adult bone marrow stem cells may help cure certain genetic eye diseases, according to University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers.Scientists have completed a study using mice which showed that bone marrow stem cells can switch roles and produce keratocan, a natural protein involved in the growth of the cornea—the transparent, outer layer of the eyeball. This ability of marrow cells to "differentiate" into keratocan-producing cells might provide a means for treating abnormal corneal cell growth in people.Winston Whei-Yang Kao, PhD, professor of ophthalmology, and Hongshan Liu, PhD, research scientist in the department of ophthalmology, will present their findings at the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology being held in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., May 9 and10.In the laboratory, the researchers induced corneal abnormalities that mimicked genetic eye mutations and then injected bone marrow stem cells into the corneas to see if they altered the mutations.The | | By: Elder Abuse | | |
| | Happy Birthday, Bone Marrow | | 2007-04-24 06:58:37 | | Today at approximately 11:30 AM, my bone marrow turns four years old. She’s been excited about this for days. And to answer your question, yes my bone marrow is a she, and no, that doesn’t make me a transsexual or anything (…not that there’s anything wrong with that). My donor just happened to be the stem cells of a newborn baby girl’s umbilical cord. My bone marrow is such a smart little girl. She taught herself how to write and do advanced Calculus. I think she’s one of those bone marrow prodigies.Last month she made out her birthday list. Here is what she asked for:1. DVD box set of the children’s show Bob the Builder At first I was glad she wanted to learn how to build shit, but all she does is watch the introductory song over and over again. She better think again if she thinks I’m going to waste my money on something she’ll barely use. Plus that damn song drives me crazy.2.
