About it
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every part of the body. Each is a soft disc, dented in on both sides, that bends to squeeze through the tiniest blood vessels. A mature human red blood cell has no nucleus and is packed with hemoglobin, the red protein that holds the oxygen.
Tap it and it sickles: it stretches and curls into a stiff crescent, then relaxes back into a disc. This happens in sickle cell disease, where a change in the hemoglobin makes cells stiffen when oxygen is low. The body makes millions of new red blood cells every second.
