Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...

The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

When cancer spreads, tiny amounts of cells can break away from tumors and circulate in the bloodstream. A liquid biopsy is a means to detect the presence of cancer by detecting these cancer cells ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say they have produced human blood cells in the laboratory by using embryo-like ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found a new way to produce human blood cells in the lab that mimics how they ...

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, ...

As our hair goes gray and our muscles weaken with age, our immune system also changes. In particular, the stem cells that ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

When people donate blood, stem cells in the bone marrow make new blood cells to replace what was lost. This stress can drive the selection of certain clones—groups of blood cells with a slightly ...
