A member asked:
I plan on donating my bone marrow in the future where will they take the bone marrow from in my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most of the time, bone marrow stem cells are mobilized with medication and collected from peripheral blood. The process takes about 6 hours. You bones do not need to be punctured to collect bone marrow stem cells. Your local blood bank can advise about the process. Wish you good health!
