Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University scientists have found exciting, new functions of the protein angiogenin (ANG) that play a significant role in the regulation of blood cell formation, ...
A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for artificial blood to be created at scale for the first time. The study was led by Dr. Julia ...
LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. While each cell contains the complete genetic blueprint of an organism, chemical marks ...
Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell–derived exosomes demonstrated the ability to alter healthy donor cell function and suppress normal blood cell formation. These particles affected monocytes, ...
Getting blood from a stone is impossible, but growing blood from 3D mini hearts is now a reality. A research team led by Robert Zweigerdt, a developmental biologist at the Hannover Medical School, ...
