Erythropoietin bound to receptors F006 / 9308
Artwork of the human erythropoietin (EPO) hormone molecule (yellow) bound to receptors (pink). Erythropoietin regulates blood oxygen levels in the body, when levels are low it is released to stimulate the formation of red blood cells. It is used illegally as a performance-enhancing drug

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of the human erythropoietin (EPO) hormone molecule, elegantly bound to its receptors. The vibrant yellow EPO molecule is depicted in stunning detail, contrasting against the soft pink receptors. Erythropoietin plays a vital role in regulating blood oxygen levels within our bodies. When these levels dip, this remarkable hormone is released to stimulate the formation of red blood cells. However, beyond its natural function, EPO has gained notoriety as an illegal performance-enhancing drug. This image serves as a reminder of both its medical significance and illicit usage. Its molecular structure reveals a complex arrangement of alpha helices and beta sheets that contribute to its functionality and regulation. The white background accentuates every aspect of this mesmerizing illustration, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity inherent in biology and medicine research. Cutouts emphasize key elements such as red blood cells while highlighting how pharmaceuticals utilize molecular structures for therapeutic purposes. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print captures the essence of healthcare advancements through biochemistry and proteomics. It symbolizes both scientific progress and ethical challenges surrounding performance-enhancing drugs like EPO. As we delve into understanding these molecules at their core, we gain insights into their potential benefits for human health while remaining vigilant against misuse in sports or other competitive arenas.
