3 | Hematopoiesis in the Gut
3.5 minutes
In Episode 37, I mentioned the "reserve hematopoiesis" in bone marrow. New information shows that significant hematopoiesis occurs in the adult intestine. In an allograft of intestinal tissue, as may occur in patients with a GI disorder, donor stem cells and progenitor cells produce white blood cells that circulate in the recipient's blood stream.
