Erythropoietin, the protein that drives red blood cell formation, also induces tolerance in dendritic cells, leading to the development of regulatory T cells.

The production of red blood cells from stem cells has emerged as a transformative approach to address chronic blood shortages and meet the increasing demand for transfusion therapies. By harnessing ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and their colleagues have developed the first ...

A research team has discovered a mechanism in which blood stem cells respond to acute, severe anemia, through lipoprotein metabolism modification. It has been known how immediate erythroid precursors ...

Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and elsewhere have been able to pinpoint cells in mouse bone marrow that give rise to specific types of ...

A high red blood cell count can occur for many reasons, including excessive cell production, changes in blood volume, or underlying medical conditions. Sometimes, the cause is unknown. Erythrocytes, ...

Scientists have been working on the artificial production of blood for several decades. Now, researchers from the University of Konstanz and Queen Mary University of London have taken an important ...

A world-first study has revealed how space travel can cause lower red blood cell counts, known as space anemia. Analysis of 14 astronauts showed their bodies destroyed 54 percent more red blood cells ...

Hemoglobin serves as the essential protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. When levels fall below normal ranges (typically below ...

UVA researchers discovered how the body knows when to stop producing renin. A hormone called angiotensin II causes calcium ...
