Expression of Plasmodium falciparum genes involved in erythrocyte invasion varies among isolates cultured directly from patients. [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum merozoites invade erythrocytes using a range of alternative ligands that includes erythrocyte binding antigenic proteins (EBAs) and reticulocyte binding protein homologues (Rh).

Lipid composition of subcellular particles of human blood platelets
Human platelets can be fractionated into three main subcellular components: granules, membranes, and a soluble fraction. In this study we determined the phospholipid and neutral lipid content of the granules and membranes.

Enzyme-incorporated erythrocyte ghosts: a new model system for quantitative enzyme cytochemistry.
The preparation and properties of a new microscopic model system for quantitative enzyme cytochemistry are described. The enzyme to be studied is entrapped in human erythrocyte ghosts by a simple hypotonic procedure.

Phospholipid transfer activities in toad oocytes and developing embryos.
The role of lipid transfer proteins during plasma membrane biogenesis was explored. Developing amphibia embryos were used because during their growth an active plasma membrane biosynthesis occurs together with negligible mitochondrial and endoplasmic ...

Stability of erythrocyte ghosts: A γ-ray perturbed angular correlation study [PDF]
The structural integrity of erythrocyte ghosts made by the preswell and slow-dialysis techniques has been studied in vitro by use of γ-ray perturbed angular correlation (PAC) techniques and also by standard in vitro leakage methods employing sequestered ...

Iran's Gas Sector in Conflict: Infrastructure Vulnerability & Market Implications
Abstract This article examines the structural vulnerability of Iran's natural gas sector under conditions of conflict, focusing on the March 2026 strikes on the South Pars/Asaluyeh complex. Despite holding the world's second‐largest reserves and ranking among the top producers, Iran's gas system is characterized by high infrastructure concentration ...

Vaccination accelerates hepatic erythroblastosis induced by blood-stage malaria
Background Vaccination induces survival of otherwise lethal blood-stage infections of the experimental malaria Plasmodium chabaudi. Blood-stage malaria induces extramedullary erythropoiesis in the liver.
