Explore the shape, structure, and movement of red blood cells under the microscope in this fascinating science clip.

Blood stem cells develop through different stages to become fully mature red blood cells. This fundamental biologic process is defined by a series of complex metabolic processes, which are often ...

Modelling blood flow and particularly cellular damage induced by supra- and non-physiological blood-flow conditions is crucial when developing novel blood-exposed biomedical devices and treatments.

Read on to understand how sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood vessels, trigger pain crises and may lead to organ damage ...

Mechanical features of cells play a crucial role in many biological processes such as crawling, proliferation, spreading, stretching, contracting, division, and programmed cell death. The loss of cell ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red blood cells in ways that make them less flexible and more prone to breakdown, ...

Extreme endurance running damages red blood cells in ways that may affect their ability to function properly, according to a recent study. Although the duration and long-term implications of the ...
