Autologous bone marrow (stem cell) transplantation
Bone marrow
Bone marrow is the flexible tissue found in the interior of bones. In humans, bone marrow in large bones produces new blood cells. Bone marrow is also a vital element of the lymphatic system, as it produces lymphocytes and acts to prevent the backflow of lymph. On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans; in adults weighing 65 kg, bone marrow accounts for approximately 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs).
