Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found.

The UCLA advance opens the door to growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing ...

RBC indices such as mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and red cell distribution width are laboratory parameters that are frequently overlooked in clinical practice.
