Red blood cells are the most abundant cell type in blood, carrying oxygen throughout the human body. In blood circulation, they repetitively encounter various levels of oxygen tension. Hypoxia, a low oxygen tension condition, ...
Encountering concrete is a common—even routine—occurrence. And that's exactly what makes concrete exceptional.
