Ultrarunning damages cells as much as a severe infection—that might actually be a good thing
A new study shows that ultramarathons damage and replenish red blood cells in ways that could help treat cancer patients.
For many years, scientists have been puzzled by individuals who live in high-elevation areas throughout the world. Surveys of high-altitude populations, from areas of the Andes to regions of the ...
Research has shown that living at higher altitudes lowers your risk of developing diabetes, but scientists haven't been able ...
A recent mouse study suggests that low-oxygen conditions, such as being at high altitudes, could cause red blood cells to ...
Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...
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 ...
New research reveals how hypoxia-driven red blood cell adaptations may reshape glucose regulation, offering fresh insight into diabetes biology and potential therapeutic strategies. Study: Red blood ...

Rare genetic variant protects against malaria-causing parasite by making red blood cells bigger
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 ...
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 ...
