Researchers at Kyushu University and Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a new computational model that can simulate the transport of oxygen by red blood cells (RBCs) through tiny blood ...

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 ...

Oxidative degradation of high-energy substrates is an essential feature of all living organisms. Aerobic organisms have developed complex chemical reactions, grouped under the term 'respiratory chain' ...

Hypoxemia (including intermittent hypoxemia) in premature infants has detrimental effects on neurodevelopment and other sequelae. Not only is the total duration of time spent in the hypoxemic range a ...

We all need oxygen. Individuals who are subjected to low enough levels of oxygen (whatever the cause) can be at major risk for organ dysfunction, cardiac arrest, and death—all within minutes. So when ...
