Researchers develop new method to detect the onset of blood damage at sublethal stage

Red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes are constantly exposed to a "shearing stress" during their circulation in the body. This stress is usually mild and the RBCs are flexible enough to accommodate shape changes in response to it.

New method to generate embryo-like cell complexes from the stem cells of mice

Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a method to generate embryo-like cell complexes from the stem cells of mice. The method provides new insights into embryonic development. In the medium term, it might also be suitable for developing tests for substances that could be harmful to fertility. The study is published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
