Question: What does "aplastic" mean in this context?

I updated the page to say what it is aplastic means the bone marrow is dead or dying (not producing blood cells)

These are my first contributions to wikipedia, I'm not entirely familiar with all the controls yet... Had a bit of trouble figuring out the "talk" thing. Hope I've got it right.

Plastic has the meaning of formative, and more specifically in relation to biology, the capacity of forming living tissue. In aplastic anemia the bone marrow loses the ability to give rise to peripheral blood cells. -- Someone else

P.S. You found the talk OK<G>.

Helpful information that should be added to this page should be that there is now another treatment that is proving to be durable,that provides a treatment-free remission, through the use of High-Dose Cyclophosphamide Therapy. The original study is reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine: http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/abstract/135/7/477 mjd, 2006/01/06162.84.63.150 15:07, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
