Bone Marrow Workshop

The bone marrow is the flexible tissue inside the bones. In humans, red blood cells are made up of bone marrow nuclei in the head of long bones in a process known as hematopoiesis. On average, the bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans; In an adult weighing 65 kilograms, the bone marrow on average represents approximately 2.6 kilograms. The hematopoietic component of the bone marrow produces around 500 billion blood cells per day, which use the vasculature of the bone marrow as an agent for the systemic circulation of the body. The bone marrow is also a key component of the lymphatic system, which produces lymphocytes that support the body's immune system. Bone marrow transplants can be done to treat serious bone marrow diseases, including certain forms of cancer. Furthermore, bone marrow stem cells have been successfully altered into functional neural cells, and can also potentially be used to treat diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease. Most hematologists, oncologists, and orthopedists specialize in these types of transplant surgeries. The two types of bone marrow are the ossuary marrow rubra, which consists mainly of hematopoietic tissue, and the flavus bone marrow, which is composed mainly of fat cells. Red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells arise in the red marrow. Both types of bone marrow include numerous blood vessels and capillaries. At birth, the entire bone marrow is red. With age, the more it turns to the yellow type; only about half of the adult bone marrow is red. Red marrow originates primarily from flat bones, such as the pelvis, sternum, skull, ribs, vertebrae, and scapula, and from spongy material ("spongy") at the epiphyseal ends of long bones, such as the femur and the humerus. The yellow marrow is found in the medullary cavity, the hollow interior of the middle portion of the long bones. In cases of ruthless blood loss, the body can turn yellow marrow into red marrow to improve blood cell production. Hematology conferences, workshops and symposia are an excellent platform to share and experience the latest advances in diagnostic, treatment and research methodologies.
