Red blood cells are disc-shaped cells with no nucleus. They are very small but their flattened shape gives a relatively large surface area which allows rapid diffusion of oxygen.

migrate to the pancreas and stimulate glucagon-producing cells (orange) to regulate blood sugar, with cell nuclei shown in blue. “For decades, immunology has been dominated by a focus on ...

Factors affecting oxygen release from red cells were described at Oxford's Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics but the testing method was too laborious for routine use in blood ...

Researchers have developed a platform that emulates human bone marrow's native environment. This breakthrough addresses a critical need in medical science, as animal studies often fail to fully ...
