A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for artificial blood to be created at scale for the first time. The study was led by Dr. Julia ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry oxygen to tissues, even after shedding the vital structures they need to ...

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located within the hollow center of bones, serving as the primary site for the continuous production of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Despite its ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry oxygen to tissues, even after shedding the vital structures they need to ...

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 ...

The amino acid glutamine plays an unexpected role in erythropoiesis, the differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells into mature red blood cells. Ordinarily, glutamine is broken down by stem cells ...
