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, ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

Hadi Nia, Ph.D. wanted to learn about the inner workings of the lung in a way nobody had, but he knew he’d need something close to a crystal ball to see what was really happening. That idea, it turns ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...

Immune cells play an active and intimate role in directing the growth of human lung tissue during development, researchers find, revolutionizing our understanding of early lung development and the ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...

Scientists have dreamed for centuries about using animal organs to treat ailing humans. In recent years, those efforts have begun to bear fruit: Researchers have begun transplanting the hearts and ...
