Human bone marrow mononuclear cells are isolated from whole bone marrow of a single donor. This heterogeneous cell population allows researchers to isolate various cell types of the immune system. Human bone marrow mononuclear cells contain CD34+ stem cells. Human bone marrow mononuclear cells enable researchers to investigate the immune system, stem cells, and regenerative medicine. In addition, they may be used for developmental studies. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) is a disorder characterized by high blood glucose that occurs because cells do not respond appropriately when insulin is present (insulin resistance). Studies have shown that there is a strong inheritable genetic connection. If your family members have DT2 this increases your risk for developing it. Severe complications can result from improperly managed DT2 including renal failure, erectile dysfunction, blindness, and coronary artery disease.
