The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, Switzerland, ...

It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) ...

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 ...

Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University scientists have found exciting, new functions of the protein angiogenin (ANG) that play a significant role in the regulation of blood cell formation, ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell–derived exosomes demonstrated the ability to alter healthy donor cell function and suppress normal blood cell formation. These particles affected monocytes, ...

Researchers at Dresden University Hospital may have discovered a new therapeutic approach for treating myelodysplastic ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow. Embryonic macrophages—specialized ...

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located within the hollow center of bones, serving as the primary site for the continuous ...

Getting blood from a stone is impossible, but growing blood from 3D mini hearts is now a reality. A research team led by Robert Zweigerdt, a developmental biologist at the Hannover Medical School, ...
