Bone marrow transplants
The infusion of bone marrow into a patient who has been treated with high dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Patients may use their own marrow, which in some cases has been frozen.
Bone marrow
The soft, sponge-like tissue in the center of most bones. It produces white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Bone marrow ablation
The destruction of bone marrow using radiation or drugs.
Bone marrow aspiration
The removal of a small sample of bone marrow, usually from the hip, through a needle for examination under a microscope.
Bone marrow biopsy
The removal of a sample of tissue from the bone marrow with a needle for examination under a microscope.
Bone marrow cancer
Cancer that forms in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow. Bone marrow cancer includes leukemias, multiple myeloma, and others.
Bone marrow metastases
Cancer that has spread from the original tumor to the bone marrow.
Bone marrow transplantation
A procedure to replace bone marrow that has been destroyed by treatment with high doses of anticancer drugs or radiation. Transplantation may be an individual's own marrow saved before treatment, marrow donated by someone else, or marrow donated by an identical twin.
Edema
Swelling caused by excess fluid in body tissues.
Enchondroma
A benign growth of cartilage in bones or in other areas where cartilage is not normally found.

A commonly inherited gene deletion can increase the likelihood of immune complications following bone marrow transplantation. When the gene is missing from the donor's genome but present in the recipient's, transplants have a greater risk of a serious side-effect known as graft-versus-host disease, in which immune cells from the donor attack tissues in the recipient.

Rationale: We described a critical role for the discoidin domain receptor (DDR)1 collagen receptor tyrosine kinase during atherosclerotic plaque development. Systemic deletion of Ddr1 in Ldlr–/– mice accelerated matrix accumulation and reduced plaque size and macrophage content. However, whether these effects reflected an independent role for macrophage DDR1 during atherogenesis remained unresolved.
