Acute infection and other insults cause extensive remodelling in the bone marrow to drive the production of new blood cells, often prioritizing the production of mature myeloid cells at the expense of other blood cell types. Here, the authors describe how haematopoiesis is affected by acute demand and how this can contribute to inflammatory disease and cancer when dysregulated.
