Summary:
A team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has now revealed how cells that work at remodeling the bones play a direct part in the ongoing renewal of another system – the blood. The findings may lead to future improvements in bone marrow transplantation and a better understanding of diseases involving bone or blood renewal.
Commentary: Hopefully this discovery will eventually lead to improved treatments for bone and blood diseases in humans. It may also lead to regeneration of bone and blood cells.
