University of Zurich researchers found that a one-hour treatment with activated protein C keeps human blood stem cells in a ...

Direct conversion of human blood cells into neural stem cells erases nearly all epigenetic age over a protracted fifty-day ...

Aging progressively affects how our bodies function. Among other effects, it reduces the ability of the hematopoietic system—the organs and tissues responsible for producing blood cells—to maintain ...

The Human Erythrocytes Available for Reconstitution and Transfusion, or HEART, project at APL aims to create shelf-stable red blood cells grown entirely in a laboratory ...

How do blood vessels form to reliably supply the body with oxygen and nutrients? A research team at the University of Basel has uncovered a key mechanism by which cells join to build new blood vessels ...

Blood cells carry a deep evolutionary history. A new analysis suggests their earliest ancestors were macrophage-like cells inherited from single-celled life. By tracing those lineages back 700 million ...

Red blood cells, long thought to be passive bystanders in the formation of blood clots, actually play an active role in helping clots contract, according to a new study from researchers at the ...

Researchers have discovered a new cell type that may help regulate blood vessel growth in the heart during development and in ...

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 ...

Not all fats are equal. A new study has suggested that unsaturated fats from plant sources are far better for human health than saturated fats from animal sources. This work analyzed the composition ...
