In many countries, the supply of blood for medical purposes relies on voluntary, anonymous donations. Worldwide, more than 11 million people have put their names on donor registries for bone marrow, signifying their willingness to donate their marrow to a stranger.

And adult stem cells are found in you and me in our blood, in our bone marrow, in our fat, our skin and other organs.

And we found, to our surprise, that we not only got bone marrow out, but we got 10 times the stem cell activity in the marrow from the Marrow Miner, compared to the normal device.

Adult stem cells are throughout our body, including the blood forming stem cells in our bone marrow, which we've been using as a form of stem cell therapy for over 40 years.

So actually how do we harvest this bone marrow?

Daniel Kraft demos his Marrow Miner a new device that quickly harvests life saving bone marrow with minimal pain to the donor. He emphasizes that the adult stem cells found in bone marrow can be used to treat many terminal conditions, from Parkinson's to heart disease.

We use those in my field of bone marrow transplantation.

Daniel Kraft invents a better way to harvest bone marrow

And the Marrow Miner, the way it works is shown here.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.

His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.

His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

We've just come out, we're commercializing, this year, generation 2.0 of the Marrow Miner.

We take our own bone marrow cells and treat a patient with a heart attack, we can see much improved heart function and actually better survival using our own bone marrow drive cells after a heart attack.

I invented a device called the MarrowMiner, a much less invasive way for harvesting bone marrow.

We're sending his marrow across the country to save the life of a child with leukemia.

So why should you care? Bone marrow is a very rich source of adult stem cells.

It may encourage more people to sign up to be potential live saving bone marrow donors.

And so this informs, among other things, of course, a treatment for bone marrow transplant, which he undertakes.

So I thought of a minimally invasive approach, and a new device that we call the Marrow Miner.

Mice with multiple myeloma, an incurable malignancy of the bone marrow, respond dramatically to the treatment with this drug.

So it enables you to very rapidly aspirate, or suck out, rich bone marrow very quickly through one hole.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

The main subsistence crops are manioc, millet, sorghum, maize, potatoes, taros, plantains, yams, peanuts, rice, marrow, pulses and sesame.

It is a fact that when our organs or tissues are injured, our bone marrow releases stem cells into our circulation.

And ultimately and here's a picture of our bone marrow transplant survivors, who come together for a reunion each year at Stanford.

So I am a pediatric cancer doctor and stem cell researcher at Stanford University where my clinical focus has been bone marrow transplantation.

Now, inspired by Jill Bolte Taylor last year, I didn't bring a human brain, but I did bring a liter of bone marrow.

He has a character describing the snowflake, and he says he shuddered at its perfect precision, found it deathly, the very marrow of death.

therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

Periodically, this drill, like a biopsy needle, plunges thousands of feet deep into the ice to extract a marrow of gases and isotopes for analysis.

It's blood!

Equally important, the risks and types of life threatening infections that come with myelosuppression were increasingly recognized, leading to the development and better use of more effective antibiotics. Starting in the 1990 s, cytokines, drugs that stimulate bone marrow to produce infection fighting white blood cells, began to be integrated into cancer treatments, further mitigating the risk of life threatening infectious complications of care.

It may even enable you to bank your own marrow stem cells, when you're younger and healthier, to use in the future should you need it.

There is no change in blood flow, in dilatation of the blood vessels.
