While many professors have used online simulations instead of physical laboratories to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission, some think that simulations they are using now could be helpful in the ...

Blood separation is the dividing of whole blood into its various components. Whole blood is often isolated for therapeutic and diagnostic reasons, including research. For this to be achieved, ...

Researchers developed a new cell culture system for expanding human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the laboratory. The new system's culture medium is free of cytokines and albumin, once believed ...

Researchers have managed to grow large numbers of blood-forming stem cells in the lab using a surprisingly simple ingredient found in glue. And when injected into mice, the cells started producing key ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to produce blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures in a move that could pave the way for regenerative therapies. The breakthrough also has the potential ...

Developing drugs that stop blood vessel growth in cancer — causing tumors to shrink — is a hot area in pharmaceuticals. Still, researchers and clinicians don’t know as much as they would like about ...
