As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These mutations can give the cells a growth advantage, laying the foundation for ...

People with the condition produce either no or too little haemoglobin, which is used by red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. Symptoms include anaemia, fatigue, shortness of breath, ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound. In response, a white blood cell ...

Abstract: White blood cell (WBC) recognition is still a challenging problem because of the high variability and complexity of blood cell images. Blood cell images can vary in quality, resolution, ...

Bats modify their red blood cells to become thicker and more rigid when they hibernate – and if we can figure out how, people might one day be able to copy the process for medical treatments or ...

As we age, our hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells (HSCs) become less able to produce new red and white blood cells and other vital blood components—contributing to chronic inflammation and ...
