The new stem cells engraft into the marrow cavities via the circulatory system. They go into the old spaces and begin to take over the old one.

wait, so when getting a bone marrow transplant, the RECIEVER of the donor doesnt need the marrow to be actually transplanted into the inside of the bone like how its taken out?

My cousin had leukemia once, and after about 3 weeks of chemotherapy and radiation, and the final thing, the bone marrow transplant, he was cured from cancer.

I just "graduated" from MDS to AML and my oncologists @ Mayo Clinic are discussing BMT. I hope this finds you well.
