Following red blood cells in a pulmonary capillary [PDF]
ESAIM: Proc., 2008, Vol. 23, pp. 48-65, 2007 The red blood cells or erythrocytes are biconcave shaped cells and consist mostly in a membrane delimiting a cytosol with a high concentration in hemoglobin. This membrane is highly deformable and allows the cells to go through narrow passages like the capillaries which diameters can be much smaller than red blood cells one. They carry oxygen thanks to

Nucleosome-mediated cooperativity between transcription factors [PDF]
, 2009 Cooperative binding of transcription factors (TFs) to cis-regulatory regions (CRRs) is essential for precision of gene expression in development and other processes. The classical model of cooperativity requires direct interactions between TFs, thus constraining the arrangement of TFs sites in a CRR.
