Do doctors get non-embryonic stem cells from bone marrow?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Mostly hematopoietic (blood) cells and a few mesenchymal (mscs) can be obtained from bone marrow aspiration. Trends in most non-blood applications is to use fat tissues, which have many more mscs that bone marrow. Choice of which depends on specific conditions being treated.

Yes-adult stem cells: Once we are formed and growing, our body has stem cells in virtually all parts of the body. The bone marrow has classic cd34-expressing stem cells, but there are numerous other cell markers (cd##) that are present in different stem cell populations of the body.
