About Blood Red Cells & Iron

Blood Red Cells & Iron serves as an international platform for publishing original research articles that focus on basic, translational, and clinical studies related to red blood cells and iron metabolism. The journal seeks original contributions that enhance the understanding of hematological disorders associated with the erythroid lineage, as well as iron-related pathologies.

We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to):

• Erythropoiesis, aspects of normal and perturbed erythropoiesis, developmental biology, comparative biology, cell and molecular biology, and omics-based studies
• Congenital and acquired disorders of erythropoiesis and the mature erythrocyte, including hemoglobinopathies and sickle cell disease, PNH, MDS, acquired hemolytic anemia and aplastic anemia, nutritional anemia
• Iron and heme, including biology, regulation, inherited and acquired disorders- iron deficiency and overload, porphyria
• Infection, erythropoiesis, and the erythrocyte including malaria
• Inflammation and immunity
• Aging and erythropoiesis
• Transfusion medicine, research, and practice
• Epidemiology and population health, QI, outcomes research
• Disease mechanisms, population genetics, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, disparities, and prevention of disorders related to red cells, iron, and heme
