Within every cell (except red blood cells) is a nucleus -- a sphere-like structure separated from the rest of the cell by a membrane. The nucleus acts as the cell's control center, regulating its ...

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.

The red cell of vertebrates is a remarkably effective device for the transport of oxygen to other cells. Many workers seek to elucidate the intricate molecular structure of its surface ...

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ.

During an investigation of the coating of the platelet surface, we noticed an elaborate surface structure which differs from that of other blood cells (unpublished results).

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.
