Scientists have grown blood stem cells in the laboratory for the first time in a move that could potentially end the need for stem cell transplants. During a stem cell (or bone marrow) transplant, ...

Researchers found a genetic variant that appears to protect against the development of CHIP, a phenomenon that can lead to ...

A newly identified and rare genetic variant slows the growth of mutated blood stem cells and reduces the risk of leukemia.

Researchers from UC San Francisco have discovered blood stem cells in the lungs, disrupting a decades-old belief that new blood cells were only made in the bone marrow. Conventionally it was thought ...

“Prior to this study, developing human blood stem cells in the lab that were capable of being transplanted into an animal model of bone marrow failure to make healthy blood cells had not been ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

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 ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

A student who was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of 16 has credited a "tiny vial of blood" taken from a placenta and ...

During events to find a blood stem cell donor for Eddie Kaufman, volunteers had their cheeks swabbed. One of those volunteers ...
