Understanding erythroid physiology and pathology in humanized mice: A closer look
Erythropoiesis, the formation of red blood cells (RBCs) from haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), is vital for understanding conditions like anaemia and haemoglobinopathies. However, studying this process in vivo is challenging due to the lack of accurate models.

At low levels of B12, specifically when bound to transcobalamin for cellular uptake, evidence of slower conductivity in the brain could point toward impaired myelin. At high levels of B12, specifically when bound to the biologically inert transport protein haptocorrin, biomarkers of neurodegeneration appear in the serum, indicating neuroaxonal injury ...

Impact of Metformin Therapy on Vitamin B12 Levels in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The association between metformin treatment in type 2 DM and vitamin B12 deficiency. ABSTRACT Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious health condition affecting people worldwide with a high prevalence rate. DM is classified according to its aetiology into type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); several risk factors

ABSTRACT In this report, we present the case of a 16‐month‐old patient who was diagnosed with cobalamin G deficiency at 4 months of age via whole exome sequencing by detecting compound heterozygous variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in the MTR gene: (1) c.1283T>A, p.Met428Lys; (2) c.2411T>C, p.Ile804Thr. Before the diagnosis, the initial clinical

Megaloblastic Anemia from Methophenobarbital [PDF]
Abstract A 39-year-old spinster presented with a severe megaloblastic anemia after treatment of her epilepsy for eight years with the barbiturate, methophenobarbital, taken regularly and alone in therapeutic dose. This drug appears to have caused the anemia, which may have been conditioned by a folic-acid-poor diet. Hematologic remission
