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 ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

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

Genetic testing isn’t currently useful in small cell lung cancer. Many mutations involved ... a pathologist takes human-made pieces of DNA and adds them to a tissue or cell sample.

The challenge? To avoid destroying healthy cells. “Once upon a time, the lung cancer cells were our normal lung cells,” before they changed or mutated, said Liu. According to the American Lung ...

A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI)-based neural network can rapidly analyze and interpret millions of cells from a patient sample, predicting molecular changes in the tissue.
