Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion ...

but the lung HSC colonies made more red blood cells and megakaryocytes, while the bone marrow colonies tended to make more immune cells,” Looney said. The human lung HSCs could also restore bone ...

But now, researchers at UCSF are showing it's also happening in the lungs. They found hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in human lung tissue that make red blood cells, as well as megakaryocytes ...

An Environmental Pollution study, co-authored by Dr. Jason Surratt, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill, reveals how two key components of biomass smoke—levoglucosan and ...

In the study, "Evidence for Cytotoxicity and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Lung Cells Exposed to Biomass Burning Aerosol Constituents: Levoglucosan and 4-nitrocatechol," Dr. Surratt and ...

A breakthrough in lung cancer treatment may be on the horizon. Scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center have ...

testing variants associated with lung cancer in human lung cells, for example. Winnowing thousands of potential variants down to a few hundred functional regulatory regions allowed the researchers ...

Results showed that of the four types of brake pads, non-asbestos organic pads were the most potent in terms of inducing inflammation and other markers of toxicity, and more toxic to human lung cells ...
