The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural ...

In these microscopic close-ups, samples of red blood cells aggregate from left to right, becoming more compact despite the absence of platelets, long thought essential to clotting. Red blood cells, ...

Song Hu and his collaborators have developed super-resolution functional photoacoustic microscopy (SR-fPAM), which allows researchers to image blood ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Red blood cells normally cannot move on their own; they lack any of the cell structures needed for movement. Instead, they deliver oxygen throughout the body by going with the flow of blood. So, when ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...
