Abstract

The study of radiation effects on bone marrow (BM) has historically constituted a rich area of scientific inquiry. The adverse and potentially fatal effects of radiation on BM function have been known since the early 1900s [1–3], and were later punctuated by famous examples involving pioneering experiments, military conflicts, and nuclear accidents. On the other hand, myeloablative effects of radiation have been leveraged for considerable therapeutic gain, especially in the context of stem cell transplantation (SCT).
