The amino acid glutamine plays an unexpected role in erythropoiesis, the differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells into mature red blood cells. Ordinarily, glutamine is broken down by stem cells ...

The production of red blood cells from stem cells has emerged as a transformative approach to address chronic blood shortages and meet the increasing demand for transfusion therapies. By harnessing ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles disrupt red blood cell (RBC) maturation in zebrafish embryos. Nanoparticle exposure increases immature RBCs while reducing mature ones, interfering with heme synthesis.

The analyzer consists of a main unit and embedded analysis software. The main unit integrates an optical imaging system, sample-handling module, barcode scanner, automatic oil-immersion unit, control ...

Dear Doctors: My husband is having an elective surgery soon. It requires full anesthesia, so he has had a lot of pre-op tests. One of the blood tests showed that his red blood cells are too big. The ...
