Abstract excerpt
Stem cell depletion and compromised bone marrow resulting from radiation exposure fosters long-term deterioration of numerous physiologic systems, with the degradation of the skeletal system ultimately increasing the risk of fractures. To study the interrelationship of damaged bone marrow cell populations with trabecular microarchitecture, 8- and 16-week-old C57BL/6 male mice were sublethally irradiated with 5 Gy...
