Bone Marrow Stimulation

Meaning

Bone marrow stimulation refers to the clinical or physiological process of enhancing the production of hematopoietic cells, which include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, within the medullary cavity of the bone. This process is often medically induced using specific exogenous growth factors or cytokines to address hematological deficiencies like anemia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia. The primary objective is to restore or increase the cellular components of the peripheral blood circulation to therapeutically acceptable levels. This intervention is a cornerstone of supportive care in oncology and hematology.
