Shear‐Responsive Red Blood Cell Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Constricted Arteries
Red blood cells are harnessed as mechanoresponsive carriers that exploit the elevated shear stress of stenotic arteries to transiently open membrane pores and release encapsulated therapeutics selectively at sites of arterial narrowing. By coupling vascular hemodynamics with RBC membrane mechanics, a hemodynamically activated platform for localized ...

Abstract Background Acute pain transfusion reaction (APTR) is a rare, under‐recognized condition of unknown etiology. It can cause significant distress in recipients, necessitating symptomatic management and, occasionally, hospitalization. Study Design and Methods Here, we present an APTR event in an adult subject with transfusion‐dependent thalassemia

Study of Eryptosis in Patients with Renal Disease [PDF]
PhDEryptosis (erythrocyte programmed cell death) is postulated to be related to the efficacy of erythropoietin (Epo) treatment in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Carmustine-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Membrane
The nitrosourea alkylating agent, carmustine, is used as chemotherapeutic drug in several malignancies. The substance triggers tumor cell apoptosis. Side effects of carmustine include myelotoxicity with anemia.

Tato bakalářská práce popisuje zánik erytrocytů eryptózou, ale i jiné způsoby zániku červených krvinek. V úvodní části jsou stručně popsány obecné vlastnosti erytrocytů, stavba jejich buněčné membrány a vznik erytrocytů (= erytropoéza).

It is hypothesized that the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS) plays a role in the pathogenesis of renal anemia. To further explore that hypothesis, we examined the effects of IS on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, levels of reduced glutathione ...

Abstract Chronic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion sustains patients with diverse hematologic disorders, but repeated transfusion leads to iron overload and alloimmunization. Reducing transfusion burden requires identifying donor units that circulate more effectively after storage, yet determinants of this variability remain incompletely defined.

Estramustine-Induced Suicidal Erythrocyte Death
Background: The nitrogen mustard derivative of estradiol-17β-phosphate estramustine is used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Estramustine may trigger suicidal death of cancer cells. Side effects of estramustine include anemia.

Red blood cell endothelial nitric oxide synthase: A major player in regulating cardiovascular health
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have traditionally been seen as simple carriers of gases and nutrients in the body. One important non‐canonical function of RBCs in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. It has been shown that RBCs can scavenge NO, transport NO metabolites and produce NO in hypoxic conditions ...
