Your bone marrow is supposed to be your body’s reliable blood cell factory, churning out healthy red cells, white cells, and platelets like clockwork. But sometimes this vital production system goes ...

Adult bone marrow churns out roughly two million new red blood cells every single second, a pace that adds up to more than ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow. Embryonic macrophages—specialized ...

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 ...

Blood cancers such as leukemia are caused by genetic changes in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow. Scientists at the University Medical Center Mainz have now shown how chronic ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for artificial blood to be created at scale for the first time. The study was led by Dr. Julia ...

An illustration of bone and bone marrow development. During the process, osteoclasts (cells in blue) expand the marrow cavity by absorbing and removing unnecessary bone. In this study, the team found ...

Researchers discovered that chronic inflammation fundamentally remodels the bone marrow, allowing mutated stem cell clones to quietly gain dominance with age. Reprogrammed stromal cells and interferon ...

Every second of every day, the human body replaces roughly two million red blood cells that have reached the end of their ...
