	curettage and stem cell rescue
		What IS more recent is the use of curettage (scraping out the fibrous tissue in the bone marrow) AND then "replacing" with stem cells that are treated (stimulated) with growth factors.
		The study reports that hematological remissions of up to five years were reported with curettage used years ago BEFORE genetic engineering made these growth factors (specifically granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and erythropoietin) available.
		Treatment by curettage, with stimulated stem cells reinfused, is based on the hypothesis that AMM results from a defect of "marrow microenvironment." Scraping the marrow cavity may be a way of altering this faulty microenvironment so that stem cells can again implant and begin to produce blood.
