Human red blood cells at work: identification and visualization of erythrocytic eNOS activity in health and disease [PDF]
A nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like activity has been demonstrated in human red blood cells (RBCs), but doubts about its functional significance, isoform identity and disease relevance remain.

An Erg-driven transcriptional program controls B cell lymphopoiesis
B cell development is tightly regulated in a stepwise manner to ensure proper generation of repertoire diversity via somatic gene rearrangements. Here, the authors show that a transcription factor, Erg, functions at the earliest stage to critically ...

Generation and characterization of erythroid cells from human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells : an overview [PDF]
Because of the imbalance in the supply and demand of red blood cells (RBCs), especially for alloimmunized patients or patients with rare blood phenotypes, extensive research has been done to generate therapeutic quantities of mature RBCs from ...

A simple model system enabling human CD34+ cells to undertake differentiation towards T cells [PDF]
Channelling the development of haematopoietic progenitor cells into T lymphocytes is dependent upon a series of extrinsic prompts whose temporal and spatial sequence is critical for a productive outcome.

T regulatory cells in cord blood--FOXP3 demethylation as reliable quantitative marker [PDF]
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs), characterized as CD4+CD25(hi) T-cells expressing FOXP3, play a crucial role in controlling healthy immune development during early immune maturation. Recently, FOXP3 demethylation was suggested to be a novel marker for natural

Blood Cells and Blood Cell Development in the Animal Kingdom [PDF]
Recent findings strongly suggest that the molecular pathways involved in the development and function of blood cells are highly conserved among vertebrates and various invertebrate phyla. This has led to a renewed interest regarding homologies between blood cell types and their developmental origin among different animals.

Cord blood Vα24-Vβ11 natural killer T cells display a Th2-chemokine receptor profile and cytokine responses [PDF]
Background: The fetal immune system is characterized by a Th2 bias but it is unclear how the Th2 predominance is established. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a rare subset of T cells with immune regulatory functions and are already activated in utero ...
