A stem-cell-based model closely captures the development of human embryonic and key extra-embryonic tissues after implantation, as well as the formation of early blood cells.

In patients with sickle cell anemia, red blood cells take on a sickle shape that prevents them from flowing through blood vessels.

A 3D model has been developed that accurately replicates the complex structures of cerebral blood vessels, enabling researchers to mimic the blood–brain barrier.

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Professor Antal Rot, Professor of Inflammation Sciences at the William Harvey Research Institute, said: “Importantly, apart from immediate practical application for the industrial production of red ...

A new study describes how sickled red blood cells get stuck in tiny blood vessels of patients with sickle-cell disease. The findings may help researchers predict more accurately when such a vaso ...

Red blood cells, long thought to be passive bystanders in the formation of blood clots, actually play an active role in helping clots contract, according to a new study by researchers at the ...
