Vitamin C and other antioxidants stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumors, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows.

Imagine being able to count the different types of blood cells being formed inside the tiny bones of a mouse and pinpointing the strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are ...

Organelles called mitochondria are transferred to blood-vessel-forming cells by support cells. Unexpectedly, these mitochondria are degraded, kick-starting the production of new ones and boosting ...

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) ...

'Merlin' serves as a gatekeeper in new blood vessel formation. Merlin suppresses internalization of VEGFR2, which is important for the formation of 'tip' endothelial cells. Blood vessels are the ...

Researchers show that stripe patterns which appear when red blood cells are separated in a centrifuge are primarily caused by ...

Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints ...
