Abstract

[first paragraph of article]

The two adult types of bone marrow (BM) can be distinguished: the red marrow consisting of hematopoietic tissue, including Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) capable of producing around 500 billion blood cells per day; and the yellow marrow mainly made up of fat cells. BM contains two types of stem cells: hemopoietic (which can produce blood cells) and stromal (which can produce fat, cartilage and bone).
