Scientists have been working on the artificial production of blood for several decades. Now, researchers from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have taken an important ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that the hormone FGF23 reduces the production of red blood cells and may contribute to the development of anemia in chronic kidney disease, according ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transfusion of donor-derived red blood cells (RBC) depends on donor availability. Alloimmunization can limit the availability of transfusion units, particularly for chronically transfused patients. In ...

Every second of every day, the human body replaces roughly two million red blood cells that have reached the end of their working lives. That relentless output, sustained around the clock inside bone ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
