Cambridge scientists grow ‘hematoids’, embryo-like structures from stem cells that generate blood stem cells after two weeks ...

Blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma often begin in the bone marrow and disrupt normal blood cell formation.

When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...
