Scientists have developed a way of assessing the ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen by measuring their shape. This test could improve specialist transplant and transfusion practice as well ...

When someone inherits two mutant copies of the hemoglobin gene, the abnormal form of the hemoglobin protein causes the red blood cells to lose oxygen and warp into a sickle shape during periods of ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in consumer products. The researchers found that nanoparticle exposure alters red ...

Very little was known about how they affect blood cell development until now. Red blood cells are essential for carrying oxygen throughout the body. In this study, zebrafish embryos exposed to ...
