Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ.

New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has found that white blood cells which 'remember' past ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

Researchers at the University of Houston, in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine, are developing new devices for ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury ...

Since neither red blood cells nor platelets have nuclei, these patterns largely reflect gene expression in the various types of white blood cells. “But depending on which cells you have more of in ...

Blocking a protein called CD44 has been shown to protect against obesity in mice on a high-fat diet, specifically by suppressing the formation of white fat cells. But a new mechanism could lead to ...
