Scientists have discovered that red blood cells act as hidden glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why people ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New research reveals how hypoxia-driven red blood cell adaptations may reshape glucose regulation, offering fresh insight into diabetes biology and potential therapeutic ...

In a finding that explains why people living at altitude are far less likely to develop diabetes than those at lower elevations or at sea level, a team of US-based scientists has discovered that red ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red ...

A world-first study has revealed how space travel can cause lower red blood cell counts, known as space anemia. Analysis of 14 astronauts showed their bodies destroyed 54 percent more red blood cells ...

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 ...

People living at high altitude have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than those at sea level. Scientists now say they have identified a biological explanation for the trend.

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 ...

Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...
