The first comprehensive map of the dramatic changes that take place in the blood system over the course of the human lifetime could have implications for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and ...

Erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells from haematopoietic stem cells, is a finely balanced process that is essential for effective oxygen delivery throughout the body. This process ...

Researchers have developed a method to confidently produce blood cell precursors from stem cells in mice, by activating a set of seven key genes in the laboratory. The team takes a step forward ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the ...

When people donate blood, stem cells in the bone marrow make new blood cells to replace what was lost. This stress can drive the selection of certain clones—groups of blood cells with a slightly ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. CXCL12 may help scientists mass-produce artificial red blood cells by triggering key steps in their development. (CREDIT: ...

Frequent blood donors may have genetic changes that promote the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Donating blood can save someone’s life; now researchers have discovered that it could ...

Researchers from UC San Francisco have discovered blood stem cells in the lungs, disrupting a decades-old belief that new blood cells were only made in the bone marrow. Conventionally it was thought ...
