Scientists have created the first bioengineered bone marrow model that can support the type of human stem cells that are crucial for bone marrow transplants and in vitro study work. LT-HSCs are vital ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Tissue engineering has transformed the field of regenerative medicine, instilling hope for treating previously incurable injuries and diseases. By replicating the fundamental principles of tissue ...

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

The From Labs to Lives Blog connects everyday topics with UC Davis research. Each post is reviewed by our experts, ensuring you always get useful information you can trust. Because we can’t see them, ...

The bone marrow serves as the main site of hematopoiesis in humans, giving rise to red and white blood cells. This space is highly organized into distinct regions, or niches, that perform different ...
