GlossaryBone Marrow-Derived Cells

cells originating from bone marrow involved in tissue regeneration

Bone Marrow-Derived Cells (BMCs) are a diverse group of cells that originate from the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside bones. These cells include hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to all blood cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, which can differentiate into various cell types such as bone, cartilage, and fat cells. BMCs play a crucial role in the body's ability to regenerate and repair tissues, making them important in medical research and treatments for conditions like alopecia and other regenerative medicine applications.
