Abstract:
An engineered bone marrow composition, preferably comprising bone marrow cells, pulverized bone, and type 1 collagen, can be transplanted into the portal system of a patient. The engineered bone marrow provides a microenvironment, for engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells, that increases levels of chimerism while decreasing or eliminating failure of engraftment.
