New Research Reveals Complex Protein Dynamics Within Human Red Blood Cells

They account for nearly 83% of all cells in the human body, yet red blood cells are often portrayed as little more than bags of hemoglobin ferrying oxygen from the lungs to the heart and beyond. But new research from the University of Colorado Anschutz reveals that they are vastly more complex with far reaching consequences for health, exercise and fitness.
