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 ...

Men who had given blood more than 100 times in their life were more likely to have blood cells carrying certain beneficial mutations, suggesting that donating blood promotes the growth of these cells ...

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.

According to new findings from University of Michigan scientists, eating too much fat could seriously hobble your immune ...

The researchers observed a stark contrast to patterns of human aging in blood. Mice maintain diverse blood stem cells throughout their lives, without the same collapse into a few dominant clones ...

For many years, scientists assumed that blood production took place in the bone marrow. But now, researchers at UC San Francisco are showing it’s also happening in the lungs. They found hematopoietic ...

filin174/Adobe Scientists then ran lab experiments using genetically modified human blood stem cells to understand why this mutation was more common in frequent donors. They exposed these cells to ...

Finally, the team transplanted the human stem cells carrying the two types of mutations into mice. Some of these mice had blood removed and then were given EPO injections to mimic the stress ...
