Every day, your heart pumps about 10 pints of blood 60,000 miles around your body through your circulatory system. That system is made up of blood vessels, the tubes that carry blood throughout your ...

When biomedical researchers need to test their latest ideas, they often turn to engineered human tissue that mimics the ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

In a new study by the Yale Department of Immunobiology and Yale Cancer Center, researchers report combined liver and growth factor humanization enhances human red blood cell production and survival in ...

Around half a million stents are implanted in Germany every year to treat narrowing of the blood vessels, a consequence of ...
