Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells (BMMC) are located in the bone marrow and have regenerative capabilities. Primary BMMC are a heterogeneous population of single nucleus cells which include hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, immature monocytes, and immature lymphocytes [1]. Recent studies suggest that BMMC are suitable as a cell therapy to treat a variety of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, and ischemic stroke [2, 3, 4]. BMMC may also be used for bone tissue engineering [1]. Primary mouse BMMC (MBMMC) can be utilized to further study BMMC as a potential cell therapy.
