Rheology of human blood plasma: Viscoelastic versus Newtonian behavior [PDF]
We investigate the rheological characteristics of human blood plasma in shear and elongational flows. While we can confirm a Newtonian behavior in shear flow within experimental resolution, we find a viscoelastic behavior of blood plasma in the pure extensional flow of a capillary break-up rheometer. The influence of the viscoelasticity of blood plasma

Blood biochemical parameters and organ development of brown layers fed reduced dietary protein levels in two rearing systems [PDF]
Objective An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of crude protein (CP) and two rearing systems (cage and floor), on blood parameters and digestive and reproductive organ development of brown laying hens. Methods A total of

Formation of a protein corona on the surface of extracellular vesicles in blood plasma
In this study we tested whether a protein corona is formed around extracellular vesicles (EVs) in blood plasma. We isolated medium‐sized nascent EVs of THP1 cells as well as of Optiprep‐purified platelets, and incubated them in EV‐depleted blood plasma ...

Aprobation of platelet aggregation inhibitor from Echis multisquamatis snake venom in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo [PDF]
Snake venom-derived platelet aggregation inhibitors can be promising antiplatelet medications that can allow to avoid the risk of bleeding and treatment resistance, particularly in aspirin-resistant patients.

Primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) has a consistently ominous prognosis, even after progress in the last decades. PCL deserves a prompt identification to start the most effective treatment for this ultra-high-risk disease.

Separating extracellular vesicles (EV) from blood plasma is challenging and complicates their biological understanding and biomarker development. In this study, we fractionate blood plasma by combining size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) and OptiPrep ...

Nanoluciferase Reporter Zika Viruses as Tools for Assessing Infection Kinetics and Antibody Potency
Zika virus (ZIKV) has become endemic in multiple tropical and subtropical regions and has the potential to become widespread in countries with limited prior exposure to this infection.

PRECIPITATION OF CALCIUM PHOSPHATES FROM A MODEL BLOOD PLASMA SOLUTION ON STEEL GRADE 12X18N10T
The paper presents a study of the processes of precipitation of mineral-organic formations in a model solution of blood plasma in the presence of additives of albumin, glycine, glucose, glutamic and lactic acids.

Droplet impact of blood and blood simulants on a solid surface: Effect of the deformability of red blood cells and the elasticity of plasma [PDF]
Previous studies suggest that the behaviour of impacting blood is similar to that of a Newtonian fluid, which has a shear viscosity equivalent to that of blood at high shear rates. To understand this important fact, we conducted comparative experiments of droplet impact on a glass surface using whole blood and three solutions with a shear viscosity ...

Blood plasma phosphorylated-tau isoforms track CNS change in Alzheimer’s disease
Barthélemy et al. use mass spectrometry to characterize plasma tau isoforms and assess their diagnosis utility for Alzheimer’s disease. They demonstrate plasma tau phosphorylation measures of p-tau-217 and p-tau-181 are increased with amyloid.
