Anaemia or decreased blood haemoglobin is the most common blood disorder often
characterized by reduced red blood cell (RBC) numbers. RBC s are produced from …

Background—Myocardial infarction leads to cardiac remodeling and development of heart
failure. Insufficient myocardial capillary density after myocardial infarction has been …

Developing erythrocytes take up exceptionally large amounts of iron, which must be
transferred to mitochondria for incorporation into heme. This massive iron flux must be …

The mechanisms by which phlebotomy promotes the mobilization of hepatic iron stores are
not well understood. NCOA4 (nuclear receptor coactivator 4) is a widely expressed …

Within the past two decades, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become an excellent model to
study the development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). All vertebrates including …

Blood development has been highly conserved during evolution. Hematopoietic cells in
amphibian and fish embryos, as in mammalian embryos, emerge and progressively …

Introduction: Stress in the work place is a global major risk factor to worker's health, which
triggers the workers to be poorly motivated and less productive. Objectives: The objective of …

Renal functional units known as nephrons undergo patterning events during development
that create a segmental array of cellular compartments with discrete physiological identities …

Multiciliated cells (MCCs) are specialized epithelia with apical bundles of motile cilia that
direct fluid flow. MCC dysfunction is associated with human diseases of the respiratory …

Although vertebrate hematopoiesis is the focus of intense study, immunocyte development is
well-characterized in only a few invertebrate groups. The sea urchin embryo provides a …
