About Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells

Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells for Hematology Research

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) are isolated by density-gradient separation from bone marrow aspirate, capturing the full spectrum of marrow-resident hematopoietic stem, progenitor, and precursor cells that peripheral blood samples do not contain. Samples come from consented donors under IRB-approved protocols, each clinically diagnosed with MDS — a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis.

MDS Biology and Why Bone Marrow

  • MDS is defined by dysplastic changes across one or more hematopoietic lineages and by marrow blast percentage, both of which require direct marrow evaluation and cannot be assessed from peripheral blood alone.
  • Cytogenetic abnormalities, assessed on marrow aspirate, are incorporated into the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R), the standard tool for risk stratification and treatment planning.
  • Marrow blast percentage determines classification and monitors progression risk toward acute myeloid leukemia, a transformation that occurs in a meaningful subset of MDS cases.
  • Hypomethylating agents and, in eligible patients, stem cell transplantation are guided by marrow-based risk assessment, making marrow material central to treatment-response research.
  • Clonal hematopoiesis and somatic mutation studies (including SF3B1, TET2, and ASXL1) rely on marrow-derived material to characterize disease biology and clonal evolution.

Where can I find your complete catalog?
How long can samples be stored?

Storage depends on sample type but often cryopreserved samples stored in liquid nitrogen can be stored for years.

What customization options are available?

Extensive customization is available. To discuss your project request a quote or email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com.

Do you offer prospective collections?

Sanguine offers flexible prospective collection services tailored to fit your research. For more information and to request a quote, please see: our prospective biospecimen collection services page.

What is the turnaround time for custom collections?

Timelines depend on condition, sample type, and I/E criteria but we often start collection within 2 weeks of signed agreement.

Do you have samples in stock?

YES - we have in-stock inventory. You can also email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com as we continually get new samples in our inventory.

What does unique donor mean?

Each sample from a different individual - Unique donor means each sample comes from a different person, ensuring biological diversity in your study.

Are samples collected under IRB-approved protocols?

YES - "IRB-approved collection protocols" and IRB approval documentation available upon request. Sanguine utilizes two internationally-recognized IRBs (Advarra and WCG IRB) for review and approval.
