mortality/aging
• myeoablated mice restored with wild-type hematopoietic stem cells exhibit increased lethality compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• transmarrow migration of transplanted bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells is absent unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
• myeoablated mice restored with wild-type hematopoietic stem cells exhibit increased lethality compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• 3 months after engraftment fewer donor cells are present in the microenvironment compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice

skeleton
• at 16 weeks, the ratio of mineral to matrix is increased in the cortical center and area of cortical bone adjacent to the endosteum compared to in wild-type mice
|
