Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and their colleagues have developed the first comprehensive map of the dramatic changes that take place in the blood system over ...

Blood stem cells develop through different stages to become fully mature red blood cells. This fundamental biologic process is defined by a series of complex metabolic processes, which are often ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Your blood cells work tirelessly to keep you alive, carrying oxygen throughout your body and fighting off infections. But hidden in your daily meals are foods that can silently compromise these vital ...

Dr. Tiziano Barbui explains how excess blood cell production in certain myeloproliferative neoplasms can impair circulation and why treatments like phlebotomy are used. Excess blood cell production in ...

Researchers from UC San Francisco have discovered blood stem cells in the lungs, disrupting a decades-old belief that new blood cells were only made in the bone marrow. Conventionally it was thought ...

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 ...
