  1. Higher ferritin threshold could detect childhood iron deficiency much earlier

    Many cases of iron deficiency in school-aged children could be diagnosed earlier, according to a new study published…

  2. Scavenger receptor CD163 detoxes #hemoglobin (Hb) via haptoglobin–Hb (Hp-Hb) uptake, but can also bind free Hb directly. Richard Zhou & Matthew Higgins solve the CD163-Hb structure to reveal that CD163 arms allow receptor promiscuity when Hp is absent @PLOSBiology plos.io/4eOLuIv

  3. The #macrophage CD163 receptor clears free #hemoglobin in the bloodstream by binding the HpHb complex. The #cryoEM structure of CD163-HpHb complex, by @chingshinhuang &co, reveals how CD163-mediated endocytosis clears different HpHb isoforms @PLOSBiology plos.io/4nNBbGI

  5. This is seriously cool! With all the fake tech hype all around, let's not forget there is real amazing progress happening.

    #FDA Approves First #CRISPR Gene Editing Treatment for #SickleCellDisease

    "physicians remove a person’s own bone marrow #StemCells, edit them, destroy the untreated #BoneMarrow and then reinfuse the edited cells... Cas9 deactivates BCL11A in stem cells and they begin producing the fetal #hemoglobin and creating #RedBloodCells with a normal shape"

  6. I felt a bit meh during my last few #running races. Could not push hard on uphills and constantly short of breath. So I went to get my blood tests done. #Anemic. Very low iron levels. Very low #hemoglobin. Explains few things. Scheduled on iron infusion and bought 100mg(!) Iron tablets plus #Vegan multivitamin complex.

  10. Steller’s sea cows were hunted to #extinction off #Alaska within 30 years of first observation by Europeans. Their closest relatives ( #manatees, #dugongs) live in much warmer waters.

    How did Steller’s sea cows adapt to cold? Signore et al. (2023) reconstructed the #hemoglobin and showed a single mutation provided more oxygen to tissues for higher metabolic rates via multiple mechanisms - lower O2 affinity, higher solubility, etc.

  11. The very first thing I ever did in a lab was work on reptile allosteric modulators of hemoglobin, way back in 1993-94.
