Infection, for example, could trigger the formation of white blood cells whose primary role is to fight disease; but this would result in fewer red blood cells being formed, ...

Macrophage cells responsible for the development of adaptive immune responses were isolated from their blood. The authors then studied the effect that G-CSF exerts on these cells.

This cell encircles the pathogen with its membrane, forming a tight, constricting ring. With remarkable force, the white blood cell yanks the pathogen off the wound’s surface. The white blood cell ...

Change in blood formation ensures long-term effect Of particular importance in this context was proving that the reprogramming of neutrophil granulocytes already begins in the bone marrow.

Immature ganulocytes, also called myeloblasts, are a type of young white blood cell. Unusual amounts of myeloblasts usually occur due to problems with bone marrow, such as certain types of blood ...

Different microenvironments give rise to oxygen-carrying red blood cells versus infection-fighting white blood cells, ... March 20). Skeleton-wide study of blood cell formation yields surprising ...

Scientists have grown a scalable new embryo-like model that unshrouds some mysteries of early human development, including blood cell formation, or hematopoiesis—a first for the field. In an ...

Different microenvironments give rise to oxygen-carrying red blood cells versus infection-fighting white blood cells, and so on. Unexpected variations in stress responses.

Japanese scientists have revealed a biological "switch" that influences whether an immature blood cell would develop into a red blood cell or a subtype of white blood cell called myeloid cells in ...
