Hemoglobin is well known as the molecule in blood responsible for carrying oxygen around the body, but when fresh mouse blood is detected in the nose, the molecule also works as a chemosensory signal ...

Exa-cel, a new CRISPR-based treatment, modifies the genes of the patient's stem cells to induce them to produce fetal hemoglobin. I have a long-standing interest in sickle cell anemia, a genetic ...

Makio Murayama, a Japanese-American biochemist who was turned away from the Manhattan Project due to his heritage, rose to prominence for his work uncovering the link between the structure of ...

Sickle Cell Disease is an awful genetic disease that disproportionally affects black people. It's caused by a single-point mutation in DNA, which results in a modified hemoglobin protein, differing by ...

A new study from North Carolina State University identifies vertebrate hemoglobin in bone extracts from two dinosaurs and shows that this molecule is original to those animals. The work also shows how ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A local scientific discovery may soon breathe new life into patients starved of oxygen. Researchers at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine ...

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 ...

High A1C levels are a risk factor for diabetes and other complications. However, ideal and dangerous A1C levels can vary slightly between each individual. Lifestyle changes can help manage A1C levels.

Biochemists in Japan were surprised to discover that the molecule hemoglobin in the blood works not only as an oxygen carrier, but when the blood is spilled as a result of aggression, accident or ...
