*Animal bone marrow(majja) is used for therapeutic purposes to improve strength, semen ([[shukra]]),nutrient fluid ([[rasa]]), [[kapha dosha]], adipose tissue ([[meda]]) and bone marrow (majja) itself. It especially strengthens bones and useful for oleation. [Cha. Sa.

*Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have the potential of differentiation and they secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors which make them appropriate for cell therapy. A study conducted to evaluate the healing effect of BM-MSCs transplantation on germinal cells showed that the transplanted BM-MSCs could successfully induce spermatogenesis in seminiferous tubules of azoospermic hamster. Therefore, BM-MSCs can be an attractive candidate in cell transplantation of azoospermia.<ref>Tamadon A et al, Induction of Spermatogenesis by Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Busulfan-induced Azoospermia in Hamster,Int J Stem Cells. 2015 Nov;8(2)134-45. doi 10.15283/ijsc.2015.8.2.134</ref> | *Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have the potential of differentiation and they secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors which make them appropriate for cell therapy.
