Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model that could make testing potential new treatments ...

Scientists have uncovered a new biological mechanism behind tissue and organ damage in low-oxygen conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and severe COVID-19. Bursting red blood cells—not ...

A normal red blood cell count ranges between 4.5 and 5.3 million cells/μL for males ages 12 to 18 years, while the range is 4.1 to 5.1 million cells/μL for females of the same age group.

The program is reportedly called the Red Blood Cell Factory, and it involves researchers learning how red blood cells carry oxygen to different parts of the body, and whether or not those cells ...

Red blood cells could act like a truck, carrying "cargo" or special protections, to all parts of the body, since they already circulate oxygen everywhere, Christopher Bettinger, a professor of ...

“Mature red blood cells don’t have organelles, such as mitochondria,” said co-corresponding author Jian Xu, PhD, St. Jude Department of Pathology and Center of Excellence for Leukemia Studies.

The morphology of the red blood cells in the peripheral blood smears was quite bizarre, with marked anisocytosis and poikilocytosis, numerous so-called "helmet cells" and small fragmented portions ...
