Scientists redefine how human blood is made
Turning conventional wisdom on its head, a team of Canadian scientists has discovered a completely new view of how human blood is made.
Toronto: Turning conventional wisdom on its head, a team of Canadian scientists has discovered a completely new view of how human blood is made.
According to them, the whole classic “textbook” view we thought we knew about blood formation doesn't actually even exist.
The research also topples the textbook view that the blood development system is stable once formed. For redefining the architecture of blood development, the research team mapped the lineage potential of nearly 3,000 single cells from 33 different cell populations of stem and progenitor cells obtained from human blood samples taken at various life stages and ages.
For people with blood disorders and diseases, the potential clinical utility of the findings is significant, unlocking a distinct route to personalising therapy.
