Researchers are making ever more sophisticated mini organs in the lab — and now they can grow their own blood vessels. The ...

A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for artificial blood to ...

Knowing your blood type is important information that can come in handy during a medical emergency. It can also tell you more about which medical conditions you're more at risk for, such as heart ...

Now, RESTORE’s lab-grown red blood cells are the first in the world to have entered clinical trials for blood transfusions, marking a significant milestone for the NHS.

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

A red blood cell count test gives the correct number of red blood cells in your body. Learn about how the test is done, why it is done, risks, and more.

Back in the 1980s, when Fowler started working with red blood cells, it wasn’t clear whether they even contained myosin. She suspected they might, because the protein appeared to play a role in giving ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have discovered. This finding advances our understanding of how blood vessels ...

A kind of transparent frog achieves near invisibility by hiding its red blood cells during the day, scientists found. "I had never seen anything like that," researcher Carlos Taboada says.

She started with growing blood vessels in the lab from just a few cells collected from pig arteries. When she transplanted them into the animal, they worked like the real thing.

Red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles in type 2 diabetes are actively taken up by the endothelium, transferring the enzyme arginase-1 and triggering oxidative stress. This mechanism helps ...

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 ...
