The group met at the Institute for the first time in October 1972. After the first meeting, Bessis published the articles describing the presentations in the <em>Nouvelle Revue d'Hématologie Française</em>, France's principal journal for articles on the science and practice of hematology of which he was the editor. The refusal of the <em>Nouvelle Revue d'Hématologie Française</em> to continue publishing the papers from the meeting of the blood club in English prompted Bessis to start a new journal, <em>Blood Cells</em>, in 1975. <em>Blood Cells</em>, also, began to accept individual submitted papers unrelated to the blood club meeting and, thus, it evolved into a standard journal. A decade later, when Bessis became ill, he asked Brian Bull, a hematopathologist and professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in California to assume the position as the second editor-in-chief. He and Bessis had become scientific collaborators and good friends in the preceding years. In 1995, Ernest Beutler, Chair of Molecular and Experimental Medicine at Scripps Research Institute, assumed the editor-in-chief position and transformed the <em>Journal</em> by making three consequential changes. He expanded its title to <em>Blood Cells, Molecules and Diseases</em>, converted its editorial board to past presidents of the American Society of Hematology plus a few additional experimental hematologists of note, a few from abroad, and he converted the <em>Journal</em> to a digital format, hosted on the Scripps Research Institute server. The <em>Journal</em> was the first published solely in a digital format. It, subsequently, was bought by Academic Press, then Harcourt and, then, by Elsevier.
