Scientists have grown blood stem cells in the laboratory for the first time in a move that could potentially end the need for stem cell transplants. During a stem cell (or bone marrow) transplant, ...

Immature ganulocytes, also called myeloblasts, are a type of young white blood cell. Unusual amounts of myeloblasts usually occur due to problems with bone marrow, such as certain types of blood ...

“Prior to this study, developing human blood stem cells in the lab that were capable of being transplanted into an animal model of bone marrow failure to make healthy blood cells had not been ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

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 ...

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, ...

Red blood cells are complex — there's much more to blood types than A, B and O. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Many people know ...
