Scientists are making new discoveries every day, but many of them fall under the radar. Some of these findings are ...

However, toxicological information on their effects on red blood cells (RBCs) and the mechanisms involved remain sparse. In this article, we examined the size dependent nanotoxicity of AgNPs using ...

Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-Beta gene found on chromosome 11. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Red blood cells with normal ...

Abstract: The human body is a microbe?s playground: interspersed among the 37 trillion cells of the human body [1] are at least ten times as many bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea. That amounts to ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a series of genetic blood abnormalities. Due to hemoglobin damage, your red blood cells (RBCs) lose their adaptable donut shape and adopt a "C" shape. These cells become ...

A high or low white blood cell count may be associated with a number of short-term or long-term health conditions. White blood cells, along with platelets and red blood cells, are key structures ...

The model can be told to create synthetic fragments of DNA with custom criteria, for example, "switch this gene on in stem cells which will turn into red-blood-cells but not platelets." ...

Individual studies generated from bacterial taxon information are represented by lowercase letters next to each bacterium; better response is indicated by green markers, poor response is indicated by ...
