  1. 🚨🧵by @[email protected] on XTwitter "New study: COVID worsens the ability of red blood cells (RBCs) to generate energy for themselves. In women, RBCs have a harder time releasing oxygen to the body's tissues; in men, RBCs..." OP: x.com/ahandvanish/... #LongCovid #Covid #RedBloodCells #RBC

  2. What is the primary function of red blood cells?
    A) Fighting infections
    B) Clotting blood
    C) Carrying oxygen
    D) Producing hormones

  3. We’ve finally found out what makes #urine yellow it comes from #bacteria metabolizing waste from #redbloodcells
    #Bilirubin is orange pigment released by red #bloodcells after they die. Gut microbes use bilirubin reductase to break down bilirubin into colorless urobilinogen, which degrades into yellowish #urobilin, giving urine that infamous hue. While urobilin previously had an association with color of urine, enzyme that starts process producing urobilinogen was unknown.

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

    "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"
