Hello,
Someone asked me this question after viewing a television program on bone 
marrow donation. I was pretty sure that it did, but was not able to give a 
definite answer. Being a biology major, I thought I could find the answer. 
However, I only found information regarding the bone marrow recipient. How 
long would it take for bone marrow to reform? How often could a person 
donate bone marrow?
