Publicerad 23 februari 2017 Bildkälla: Mostphotos Våra blodstamceller bildar omkring tusen miljarder nya blodkroppar varje dag. Men när vi åldras förändras blodstamcellernas förmåga att producera blod. Det leder till att äldre personer lättare drabbas av anemi, försämrat immunförsvar och har större risk för att utveckla vissa typer av blodcancer. Nu har en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet, för f
