Researchers tweak heart-forming organoids to produce blood cells, in a process that mimics embryonic development.

Low levels of the clotting factor HSP47 protect the sleeping giants from blood clots, and the same may be possible for humans and other mammals.

Researchers use Single Molecule Counting (SMC®) technology to probe brain biomarkers.

A study’s authors say their oxygenating cocktail may lead to technologies that preserve organs in deceased people for longer periods for transplantation.

Makio Murayama, a Japanese-American biochemist who was turned away from the Manhattan Project due to his heritage, rose to prominence for his work uncovering the link between the structure of hemoglobin and the mechanisms of sickle cell disease.

Saliva offers a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative for abundant high-quality DNA collection.

Researchers link the ability of the cells to bind and present DNA from pathogens and cell death to anemia, which is common in COVID-19, and immune activation.

Using deoxyoligonucleotides to bind proteins with high sensitivity and specificity

In this workshop, you will learn how to optimally culture organoids and support their growth after genetic manipulation.

The number, extrapolated from antibodies present in blood donors in Manaus, should be treated with caution, experts warn.

Transcripts circulating in the blood provide real-time information about maternal, fetal, and placental health.

When mice that had suffered a stroke were given blood from a healthy donor, they experienced less tissue and neurological damage.

White House officials hail convalescent plasma as a major breakthrough, but scientists say evidence supporting its effectiveness is still lacking.

By revealing that animals could develop immune responses against their own tissues, the physician-scientist established an entirely new field of science.

A blood biobank allows scientists to study the immune responses to the coronavirus among infected Biogen employees and their contacts.

The functional, respiring organelles appear to be present in the blood of healthy people, but their function is yet unclear.

Bats that share food with their hungry cage-mates stay close after being released.

A device that illuminates and oxygenates blood outside of the body before pumping it back in removes the gas by freeing hemoglobin from CO.

For the Physiology or Medicine award, Peter Ratcliffe, William Kaelin, and Gregg Semenza are credited with figuring out molecular and genetic responses to oxygen levels.
