Really proud of this one, and grateful to the reviewers for the constructive criticism. It really is a much better paper now!
Red blood cells make up 83% of the cells in the human body. Mature RBCs lack nuclei (no gene expression) and organelles, and >90% of their dry weight is hemoglobin. Yet we have lacked a clean, contamination-free map of their proteome. Until now.
