Tardigrades, also called water bears, are famous for their ability to survive nearly anything. They protect themselves in ...

A CAHS protein fragment from tardigrades combined with trehalose enabled recovery of up to 89% of mouse red blood cells after ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) ...

Blood vessels run throughout the entire body, delivering nutrients and oxygen through the circulating blood. During vessel formation, cells first form local lumens, which then fuse to form a ...

Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...

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 sprout ...

Blood stem cells are rare cells in the bone marrow that produce the blood and immune cells needed throughout life, ensuring ...

University of Zurich researchers found that a one-hour treatment with activated protein C keeps human blood stem cells in a ...
