Blood Support

During embryonic development, generation of the stem cells from which all blood cell types are derived relies on a subset of vessel smooth muscle cells that bear the Runx1 molecule – insight towards lab-based production of blood components for transfusions

Hemopoiesis

-- the process that produces formed elements of the blood

-- takes place in the red bone marrow

-- red bone marrow is found in the epiphyses of long bones, flat bones, vertebrae, and pelvis

-- hemopoietic stem cells are called hemocytoblasts

-- hemocytoblasts divide to produce various -blast cells

-- these -blast cells mature

Clones at Heart

Mutations in blood cell-generating stem cells acquired with age leads to populations of distinct clones of cells whose presence is linked with worse outcome in patients with heart failure – this study provides detailed insights into why

Controlling the Network

Tracking the network of antigen-processing conventional dendritic cells which activate an immune response in lymph nodes reveals that its continuous replacement by precursors from the bone marrow is regulated by niches in the lymph node core known as the medulla
