Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK, but it's also one of the most serious types of cancer. Here are some ...

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the UK, accounting for 21% - with around 34,800 lung cancer deaths in ...

New research has found hematopoietic stem cells in human lung tissue that make red blood cells, suggesting the lungs could be ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers at UCSF have found that the lungs, not just the bone marrow, play a crucial role in producing red blood cells. This revelation could revolutionize how we ...

Scientists found stem cells in the lungs that produce red blood cells & platelets ... including red blood cells, megakaryocytes, and various immune cell types. Looney's team sought to demonstrate ...

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, which ...

They found hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in human lung tissue that make red blood cells, as well as megakaryocytes, which produce the platelets that form blood clots. The findings appear Feb.

Thrombocytopenia, which is a low platelet count, can be caused by problems in the bone marrow or the immune system. The bone marrow may not make enough platelets, or the immune system may destroy ...

In addition, specific antibodies have an inhibitory effect on the production of platelets by megakaryocytes. CTLs also play an important role in the destruction of platelets. Platelets can express ...

A new UCSF study shows that the human lungs have just as many blood-producing stem cells as bone marrow. These stem cells are ...
