About Journal of Bone Marrow Biology

Advancing scientific understanding of bone marrow through rigorous peer-reviewed research - connecting hematologists, transplant specialists, stem cell biologists, and regenerative medicine researchers worldwide.

A Global Platform for Bone Marrow Research Excellence

The Journal of Bone Marrow Biology (JBMB) is an esteemed open-access, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that advances our understanding of bone marrow biology. As the spongy tissue housing hematopoietic stem cells within bones like the hip and femur, bone marrow serves as the body's blood cell factory and immune system foundation.

JBMB provides an interdisciplinary forum for scientists, clinicians, and practitioners investigating bone marrow structure, function, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic interventions. Our mission is to accelerate translation of laboratory discoveries into clinical applications that improve outcomes for patients requiring bone marrow or cord blood transplantation - often the only curative option for certain hematologic malignancies, immune deficiencies, and genetic disorders.

Published by Open Access Pub, JBMB operates under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) licensing to ensure barrier-free global access to essential bone marrow research. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports, and methodological innovations that enhance clinical diagnosis, treatment protocols, and transplant outcomes.
