marrow stroma

Cells that constitute the bone marrow stroma are:

CD56 is considered important in anchoring plasma cells to bone marrow stroma, and its expression is associated with a poor prognosis.

We have shown that α-actinin is abundant in the bone marrow stroma matrix, presumably at focal adhesion sites [ 5 ] .

The bone marrow stroma contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), also known as marrow stromal cells.

Yellow bone marrow makes up the majority of bone marrow stroma, in addition to smaller concentrations of stromal cells located in the red bone marrow.

Type-III collagen is a fibrous scleroprotein in bone, cartilage, dentin, tendon, bone marrow stroma and other connective tissue; yields gelatin on boiling.

Myeloma bone disease is due to the overexpression of Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor κ B Ligand (RANKL) by bone marrow stroma.

Marrow stroma includes a subpopulation of undifferentiated cells that are capable of becoming one of a number of phenotypes, including chondrocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, fibroblasts, possibly muscle cells, and the reticular cells that support hematopoietic cell differentiation [ 1, 2].
