A study explains how age reshapes the blood system. In both humans and mice, a few stem cells out-compete their neighbors and gradually take over blood production. The loss of diversity results in a ...

A study in the journal Nature explains how age reshapes the blood system. In both humans and mice, a few stem cells, or ...

DNA ‘barcodes’ shed light on how the blood ages - The discovery could help prevent diseases years before symptoms appear, as ...

The symptoms are largely due to the onset of anemia (characterized by the loss of red blood cells) and thrombocytopenia (the loss of blood-clotting platelet cells). With the proliferation of leukemic ...

The model can be told to create synthetic fragments of DNA with custom criteria, for example, "switch this gene on in stem cells which will turn into red-blood-cells but not platelets." ...

The enzyme or dye shows up under a microscope, allowing a specialist to determine the type of lymphoma cells. Flow cytometry uses fluorescent antibodies to stain blood cells. A healthcare ...

There are basically three different causes of anemia: blood loss, decreased or faulty red blood cell production, or destruction of red blood cells. Blood tests will not only confirm the diagnosis ...

Doctors must order additional tests, including looking at blood cells under a microscope, to diagnose leukemia. People with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) typically have monocyte counts of ...

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a blood cancer marked by excessive production of myeloid cells (immune cells derived from the bone marrow). Unlike most cancers, which require multiple genetic ...
