In the mammalian bone marrow, stromal components support the growth and differentiation of blood cells. To study this complex system, we used a rat model in which ectopic hematopoietic tissue was induced to form after subcutaneous implantation of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP-2). We showed that this organoid contained clonogenic precursors of both erythroid and myeloid lineages and...
