In these microscopic close-ups, samples of red blood cells aggregate from left to right, becoming more compact despite the absence of platelets, long thought essential to clotting. Red blood cells, ...

Scientists from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have identified a key molecular trigger that facilitates a crucial step in the formation of red blood cells. The finding ...

Researchers have helped resolve a long-standing debate about which precursors in the developing mammalian embryo give rise to blood cells, after tracking the birth of these cells using in-vivo imaging ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow. Embryonic macrophages – ...
