The evaluation of new drugs designed to treat specific anemias should include a thorough understanding of underlying pathophysiology, with a focus on enhancing oxygen transport. In this concise review ...

Three patients heterozygous for hemoglobin Seattle were found to be anemic, with hematocrit levels of 24 to 33 per cent. Urinary erythropoietin excretion was 1 to 4 units per day. This low value ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

Red-blooded genealogists take note: The discovery in microbes of two oxygen-packing proteins, the earliest known ancestors to hemoglobin, brings scientists closer to identifying the earliest life ...

Researchers have discovered crucial information about the protein transporter of oxygen, which opens up the possibility to optimize its function by introducing modifications. The transport of oxygen ...

Oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin that is bound to molecular oxygen at a given time point. It is an important parameter for managing patients in a clinical setup. Oxygen ...

A team led by a University of Texas at Arlington bioengineering professor and an Austin businessman has published key findings in the British Medical Journal Innovations that illustrate how a new ...

ARLINGTON, Va.– Red-blooded genealogists take note: The discovery in microbes of two oxygen-packing proteins, the earliest known ancestors to hemoglobin, brings scientists closer to identifying the ...
