  • eduAlthough the full mechanisms are not yet elucidated, research into the mechanism of toxicity of aluminum (Al) on bone formation and remodeling and on hematopoietic tissue is ongoing.
  • Differentiation of the hematopoietic tissue is controlled by growth factors which act precisely on stem cells arriving at a specific stage of differentiation.
  • Hematopoietic tissue is the main target of radiation carcinogenesis.
  • Since the hybrid tissues of the chimeric recipients were derived from spleen cell populations we conclude that the immunologic rejection of lymphoid and hematopoietic tissue is sufficient to cause the runting syndrome 1560 .
  • 3,6 RT has been reported to yield excellent results with prompt neurological response since the hematopoietic tissue is radiosensitive and relatively small doses of radiation are needed.
