Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg and ETH Zurich have created the first integrated map detailing the metabolic and molecular changes in human blood ...

As people age, so do their stem cells. Scientists have known for years that the stem cells that go on to become blood cells ...

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 ...

Co-corresponding authors Jian Xu,PhD, (left) and Min Ni, PhD, (right) and co-first authors Junhua Lyu, PhD, (center left) and Yuannyu Zhang, PhD, (center right) identified and characterized a ...

Blood cells are a major component of blood that make up a majority of its total volume. They originate in the bone marrow from stem cells. Blood cells can be broken down in three different subsets ...

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 ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in packaging, but their effects on organisms are unclear. Very little was known about how they affect blood cell development until now. Red blood cells are ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new form of CAR T cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while ...
