For patients with heart failure, blood pumps can be lifesaving. But the very forces that sustain circulation can also harm it ...

A new preclinical study shows that red blood cells can be tagged in vivo and used as long-lasting carriers for imaging agents ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Creating human structures in a lab is always difficult, but when successful, it can open up a lot of possibilities. Recently, researchers have been working on using 3D embryo structures called ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Nanoparticles built from red blood cell membranes and loaded with a sound-sensitive dye kill liver cancer cells when ...

New research has identified a biological mechanism that may explain why people living at higher elevations tend to develop ...
