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 ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production. Changes in mitochondrial function is now widely recognized as a ...

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 production ...

When people donate blood, stem cells in the bone marrow make new blood cells to replace what was lost. This stress can drive the selection of certain clones—groups of blood cells with a slightly ...

Scientists have unveiled a new method for generating blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures, a development that could significantly advance regenerative therapies. This breakthrough also ...

FRANKFURT. Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ. These new blood cells are formed in ...
