A research team has discovered a mechanism in which blood stem cells respond to acute, severe anemia, through lipoprotein metabolism modification. It has been known how immediate erythroid precursors ...

The production of red blood cells from stem cells has emerged as a transformative approach to address chronic blood shortages and meet the increasing demand for transfusion therapies. By harnessing ...

Taken together, these advances suggest that part of age-related immune decline is driven by specific, potentially reversible ...

If CXCR4 is removed from the cells, red blood cell development stops at subsequent stages, and bone marrow production drops severely. That loss helps to confirm just how important the CXCL12-CXCR4 ...

A molecule involved in red blood cell production determines whether the immune system attacks or ignores cells in the body via peripheral immune tolerance, Stanford Medicine researchers find.

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 ...

Scientists have been working on the artificial production of blood for several decades. Now, researchers from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have taken an important ...

Donated blood is often in short supply, so to prevent dire blood shortages, scientists are figuring out a way to synthesize blood in the laboratory. However, researchers often face difficulties ...

Hemoglobin serves as the essential protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. When levels fall below normal ranges (typically below ...

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 ...
