Healthy volunteers are needed for a research study that is collecting bone marrow samples. Samples will be used for clinical research in the Hematology Branch and are indispensable for many research projects, including studies of normal and abnormal blood cells in the human body, blood diseases, the role of the immune system in marrow failure and the genetic risk factors for aplastic anemia. Contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY: 800-877-8339) or prpl@cc.nih.gov. Online: https://go.usa.gov/xHgDt. Refer to study 07-H-0113.
