Associated Effect of SLC40A1 and TMPRSS6 Polymorphisms on Iron Overload
Mutations in the ferroportin (FPN) gene SLC40A1 alter iron recycling and cause disturbances in iron homeostasis. The variants of TMPRSS6 contribute to the development of iron deficiencies.

Following red blood cells in a pulmonary capillary [PDF]
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
