A single cell transplanted in a mouse spontaneously generated cartilage and bone and even began to form a bone marrow niche. (sciencedaily.com)
Michelle Lee, a PhD candidate and the first author of the study explains, «We found that Plasmodium products continuously accumulate in the bone marrow niche which turns the bone noticeably black in color, and results in it being «eaten - up» by bone resorbing cells known as osteoclasts, eventually disrupting bone homeostasis.» (sciencedaily.com)
