Every second, millions of blood cells are produced in the human body, and about 90% of the cells replaced daily are blood cells. These include red blood cells essential for oxygen transport, platelets ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

Human blood already comes in a bewildering variety of types, but researchers have now identified a new one so rare that only three people on the planet are known to carry it. The finding exposes just ...

Blood usually falls into a few widely recognized categories or types, based on the proteins that are expressed on the surface of red blood cells. For example, A or B antigens may be present there, ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

In a recent perspective article published in the journal Nature Communications, over 30 scientists from around the world discussed the action plans and principles of the global scientific initiative ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
