Researchers have found a link between the release from malformed red blood cells of the vital protein that carries oxygen and episodes of severe pain in people with sickle cell disease. The discovery ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Investigators from Duke University Medical Center and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have demonstrated that red blood cells play a crucial and active role in responding to ...

Artificial oxygen carriers and haemoglobin‐based therapies represent a rapidly evolving field that seeks to overcome the limitations of conventional blood transfusions. These therapies aim to ...

Researchers are shifting focus from large arteries to microvessels, where nitric oxide activity may signal early circulatory changes before symptoms appear. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule ...

New findings on how red blood cells deliver oxygen from the lungs to tissue in may mean it is time to rewrite the text books on how the respiratory cycle works. Share on Pinterest Researchers say the ...

The evolution of biomedical science can be appreciated through studies of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red cells. Before molecular cloning, the geneticist Arno Motulsky noted, “Many ...

Hemoglobin helps red blood cells carry oxygen to your muscles and tissues. Abnormal hemoglobin levels can be a sign of several health problems. Hemoglobin is a component of your blood that delivers ...

Professor Jonathan Stamler's latest findings regarding nitric oxide have the potential to reshape fundamentally the way we think about the respiratory system - and offer new avenues to save lives. It ...
