Sub-grouping of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 var genes based on sequence analysis of coding and non-coding regions [PDF]

, 2003
Background The variant surface antigen family Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMP1) is an important target for protective immunity and is implicated in the pathology of malaria through its ability to adhere to host endothelial ...

Erythrocyte Shape Abnormalities, Membrane Oxidative Damage, and β-Actin Alterations: An Unrecognized Triad in Classical Autism

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a complex group of neurodevelopment disorders steadily rising in frequency and treatment refractory, where the search for biological markers is of paramount importance.

Invasion pathways and malaria severity in Kenyan Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates. [PDF]

, 2007
The invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum occurs through multiple pathways that can be studied in vitro by examining the invasion of erythrocytes treated with enzymes such as neuraminidase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin.

The malaria secretome: from algorithms to essential function in blood stage infection [PDF]

, 2008
The malaria agent <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> is predicted to export a "secretome" of several hundred proteins to remodel the host erythrocyte.

Membrane-Damaging Activity Against Various Phospholipid Liposomes by γ-hemolysin, Staphylococcal Two-Component Pore-Forming Cytolysin

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2012
Staphylococcal γ-hemolysin (Hlg) is a two-component cytolysin, which consists of LukF (Hlg1) and Hlg2. Our previous study has suggested that LukF and Hlg2 are alternatively arranged on the human erythrocyte membrane and form a ring-shaped ...

Multiscale simulation of erythrocyte membranes [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2010
To quantitatively predict the mechanical response and mechanically induced remodeling of red blood cells, we developed a multiscale method to correlate distributions of internal stress with overall cell deformation. This method consists of three models at different length scales: in the complete cell level the membrane is modeled as two distinct layers

Functional consequences of sphingomyelinase-induced changes in erythrocyte membrane structure

, 2012
Contains fulltext : 107961.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Inflammation enhances the secretion of sphingomyelinases (SMases). SMases catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide.

Experiment study and FEM simulation on erythrocytes under linear stretching of optical micromanipulation

AIP Advances, 2017
The elasticity of erythrocytes is an important criterion to evaluate the quality of blood. This paper presents a novel research on erythrocytes’ elasticity with the application of optical tweezers and the finite element method (FEM) during blood storage.
