Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

Co-corresponding authors Jian Xu,PhD, (left) and Min Ni, PhD, (right) and co-first authors Junhua Lyu, PhD, (center left) and Yuannyu Zhang, PhD, (center right) identified and characterized a ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

A new study led by Stephen D. Nimer, M.D.,director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, shows how a key molecule regulates the generation of new blood cells, a process called hematopoiesis that ...

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 ...

Researchers have made a world first breakthrough into creating blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body. And the discovery could soon lead to personalized treatments for children ...

The amino acid glutamine plays an unexpected role in erythropoiesis, the differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells into mature red blood cells. Ordinarily, glutamine is broken down by stem cells ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois report they can alter blood cell development through the use of biomaterials designed to mimic characteristics of the bone marrow. The findings, reported in ...

The study links genetic and regulatory changes to increased erythrocyte production and leukemia risk while also identifying oxidative stress as a key factor in these abnormalities. Study: Single-cell ...
