Inflammation turns bone marrow into a breeding ground for disease

Researchers discovered that chronic inflammation fundamentally remodels the bone marrow, allowing mutated stem cell clones to quietly gain dominance with age.

Surprisingly, the mutant cells themselves may not be the main instigators.
