Abstract
New molecular approaches are rapidly yielding information about the composition of bone marrow and culture studies suggest possible functions for many molecules in that organ. However, the marrow is extraordinarily complex with respect to interactions between cells and their behaviour may not be adequately modeled in culture. It is becoming apparent that post-translational modifications and function of proteins can be highly influenced by the cellular and extracellular environment. Therefore, in vivo studies will continue to be important for understanding this remarkable organ.
