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) ...

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 ...

'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 ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous ...
