Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

Our bone marrow the fatty, jelly-like substance inside our bones is an unseen powerhouse quietly producing 500 billion new blood cells every day. That process is driven by hematopoietic stem cells ...

Today, we all understand the importance of blood type, but that's actually a relatively recent discovery. Before the 1900s, doctors believed all blood was the same, which unsurprisingly led to a lot ...

Myeloblasts are precursors to specific types of white blood cells that help your body fight infections. Too many myeloblasts may be a sign of a blood cancer like leukemia. Myeloblasts, or blast cells, ...

Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The lab-grown cells have so far only been tested in ...

CAR T-cell therapy has the potential to revolutionise how we treat certain types of cancer by genetically engineering someone’s own immune cells to attack the disease – but it is also cumbersome and ...
