Blood vessels grown in the lab in just five days could quickly prevent the tissue damage that can occur after an accident ...

For a long time, scientists depended on luck to find new proteins. In 1840, for example, Friedrich Ludwig Hünefeld, a German ...

Blood clotting is a complex, tightly regulated process involving numerous molecular steps and myriad biomolecules to carry ...

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...

Redder wavelengths pass through, creating the blood-moon effect. According to Dr. Bosh, the exact shade of red during a lunar eclipse can vary. Clouds and recent natural disasters — like dust ...

Healthy fresh red blood cells have a distinctive biconcave – or dumbbell – shape for efficient oxygen release. During refrigerated storage, red cells become energetically stressed and more ...

Bats modify their red blood cells to become thicker and more rigid when they hibernate – and if we can figure out how, people might one day be able to copy the process for medical treatments or ...

And normally, those 100 million or so hemoglobins in each red blood cell float freely, giving the cell its flexible biconcave shape. But what if it didn’t work like that all the time?

The mystery surrounding the targeted removal of red blood cells from the human body is at the center of new Griffith University research. Research Fellow Dr. Lennart Kuck from Griffith's School of ...

One possibility is that red blood cells deform under microgravity, similar to how water becomes spherical. Their specific shape — known as biconcave disks, which look like donuts that haven’t been ...
