Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

2024 — Stem cell transplantation is used to treat several types of blood cancers, but carries the risk of a life-threatening side effect called graft-versus-host disease. Results from a clinical ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Hematopoietic (hee-MA-toh-poy-EH-tik) stem cells (usually just called stem cells) grow into all types of blood cells. The white blood cells fight infection, red blood cells carry oxygen, and platelets ...

Now - the clever bit. The cells on the inside layer of this very early embryo can make all of the cell types needed in your body. They're called stem cells. The stem cells continue to divide by ...

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 ...
