University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Scientists have grown embryo-like structures in the laboratory that produced human blood cells, raising new possibilities for regenerative medicine. The ability to generate blood stem cells in the ...

Researchers have developed a new platform that can replicate different types of blood vessel structures. Blood vessels are less like straight pipes and more like a crowded city road map, with turns, ...

For half a century, a tiny quirk on the surface of red blood cells has puzzled doctors and put a small group of patients at ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

A new, fast and easy test could revolutionize blood transfusions, giving blood centers and hospitals a reliable way to ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models replicated vessels like straight, simple roads. To better capture the complex ...

In a pair of fluorescent-lit rooms on both sides of the Atlantic, the guinea pigs awaited their fate. They were not literally guinea pigs. Two were lightly sedated, extremely fluffy white rabbits ...
