As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic pathways that govern the development of blood has kept us from producing ...

Johns Hopkins APL researchers are investigating the viability and scalability of shelf-stable, freeze-dried red blood cells.

Developing effective immunotherapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has long been hampered by a critical challenge: Therapy directed at killing the leukemia cells may also harm the body's ability to ...

Scientist Elizabeth Ng is clutching a small flask with a clear mixture inside it that she’s just retrieved from inside a ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Scientists at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and the University of Oxford have developed RegVelo - a new AI framework that ...

Blood cancers such as leukemia are caused by genetic changes in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow. Scientists at the University Medical Center Mainz have now shown how chronic ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

Tiny plastic particles, from the micro- to nanoscale, have been routinely detected in water, soil, air, aquatic species, and humans in recent years. As concerns grow over their potential impact on the ...
