Biomechanical and biochemical investigation of erythrocytes in late stage human leptospirosis [PDF]
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, which can cause lipid changes in the erythrocyte membrane. Optical tweezers were used to characterize rheological changes in erythrocytes from patients with leptospirosis in ...

Membrane proteins in senescent erythrocytes [PDF]
The examination of erythrocyte senescence has been facilitated by recent advances in techniques for the isolation of aged red cells. One of these methods, which uses biotinylated rabbit erythrocytes, has been used to examine the state of membrane proteins in effete cells.

Erythrocyte membrane in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a major public health challenge, due to the continuously growing prevalence and the complexity of the diabetic complications. Hyperglycemia seems to be the main mechanism for the disease progression. During erythrocyte’

Biochemically altered human erythrocytes as a carrier for targeted delivery of primaquine: an in vitro study [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate human erythrocytes as a carrier for targeted drug delivery of primaquine (PQ). The process of PQ loading in human erythrocytes, as well as the effect of PQ loading on the oxidative status of erythrocytes, was also studied.

Antibody-loading of biological nanocarrier vesicles derived from red-blood-cell membranes [PDF]
Antibodies, disruptive potent therapeutic agents against pharmacological targets, face a barrier crossing immune-system and cellular-membranes. To overcome these, various strategies have been explored including shuttling via liposomes or bio-camouflaged nanoparticles.

Infrared Surface-Plasmon-Resonance -- a novel biophysical tool for studying living cell [PDF]
We discuss the Surface-Plasmon-Resonance (SPR) technique based on Fourier -Transform - InfraRed (FTIR) spectrometry. We explore the potential of the infrared surface plasmon resonance technique for biological studies in aqueous solutions and compare it to the conventional surface plasmon technique operating in the visible range. We demonstrate that the

Posttranslational control of membrane-skeleton (ankyrin and alpha beta- spectrin) assembly in early myogenesis [PDF]
Adult chicken skeletal muscle cells express polypeptides that are antigenically related to alpha-spectrin (Mr 240,000) and beta-spectrin (Mr 220,000-225,000), the major components of the erythrocyte membrane- skeleton, and to ankyrin (Mr 237,000; also ...

Acetylcholinesterase in the Erythrocyte Membrane
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) in erythrocytes is one of the typical extraneural AchEs. Its activity is high in human erythrocytes. It has been known that the enzyme is present only in the membrane in erythrocytes and that it is localized on the outer side of the membrane.
