Blood clot researchers could benefit from a new device that mimics a human vein, replacing the need for animals for some studies. The vein-on-a-chip model has been developed by scientists at the ...

Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all blood cells in the body. Most of the time they are not dividing. Rather, they serve as a reserve for the times when the body needs rapid blood formation. “One ...

The human data also highlighted an intriguing relationship between light exposure and cancer patients, who are nine times ...

'Merlin' serves as a gatekeeper in new blood vessel formation. Merlin suppresses internalization of VEGFR2, which is important for the formation of 'tip' endothelial cells. Blood vessels are the ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have successfully developed a stem cell-based model capable of producing human blood cells entirely in the lab. The achievement replicates the earliest ...

Contrary to previous belief, stem cells, from which all new blood cells are formed, remain in bone marrow in the blood cancer type acute lymphocytic leukemia. This disease, however, causes a hidden ...
