Hemoglobin structure and function
Hemoglobin structure and function is a research topic within Cell Biology. Science Explorer counts 32k research works in it since 1950. 16.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the function, regulation, and physiological impact of hemoglobin and related proteins in vertebrates. It covers topics such as scavenger receptor CD163 expression, neuroglobin and myoglobin function, haptoglobin phenotype, nitric oxide dioxygenase activity, and the role of flavohemoglobins in detoxifying nitric oxide. The papers also discuss the use of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers and their potential impact on cardiovascular disease.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
