A nationwide team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital and UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh has proposed a major revision to how Langerhans cell ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These mutations can give the cells a growth advantage, laying the foundation for ...

Deep inside the body, a slow-growing cluster of mutated blood cells can form. This cluster, found in 1 in 5 older adults, can raise the risk of leukemia and heart disease, often without warning.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A new study found that donating blood regularly could improve blood health by increasing the production of blood cells and decrease the chance of blood cancer. The new study, ...

As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the body, can accumulate genetic mutations. These mutations can give the cells a growth advantage, laying the foundation for ...

As tissues age, they quietly accumulate many mutations that can drive cancer. In the hematopoietic system, such mutations often appear in otherwise healthy individuals as clonal hematopoiesis (CH), a ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered how a mutated gene kicks off a dangerous chain of events during blood cell production. The study, published recently ...

Giving blood regularly may not just be saving the lives of other people, it could also be improving your own blood's health at a genetic level, according to a new study. An international team of ...

Scientists have discovered how aging blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth edge, creating fertile ground for the development of clonol hematopoiesis, a condition that dramatically ...

Deep inside the body, a slow-growing cluster of mutated blood cells can form. This cluster, found in 1 in 5 older adults, can raise the risk of leukemia and heart disease, often without warning. To ...

JAX Scientists not only uncover how an energy boost from mitochondria fuels blood disorders, but also how to shut it down As we age, blood stem cells, the essential source of new blood cells in the ...
