Optical tweezer for probing erythrocyte membrane deformability [PDF]
We report that the average rotation speed of optically trapped crenated erythrocytes is direct signature of their membrane deformability. When placed in hypertonic buffer, discocytic erythrocytes are subjected to crenation. The deformation of cells brings in chirality and asymmetry in shape that make them rotate under the scattering force of a linearly

Semi-refined carrageenan induces eryptosis in a Ca2+-dependent manner [PDF]
Background: Semi-refined carrageenan (food additive E407a) is a widely used thickener, which has been reported to exert toxic and pro-inflammatory effects. In particular, there is accumulating evidence that it induces eryptosis, i.e.

The Relationship between Erythrocytes and Diabetes Mellitus
High blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) is a leading indicator of diabetes mellitus (DM). Erythrocytes are the most abundant cells in the circulation and the first to perceive changes in plasma composition.

A Clinical Case of Weak A Antigen on the Erythrocytes in a Person with Coexistent Anti-A Antibodies [PDF]
This study investigated a person with an AB0 discrepancy. Her blood group initially typed at the birth as AB Rh+ (positive); however, it was B Rh+ (positive) or Rh- (negative) when she was in her teens.

Effect of ozonation on resistance of ovine and human erythrocytes to hypothermic storage
Long-term hypothermic storage of animal blood can lead to the loss of its quality and can cause complications in recipient animals after transfusion, so the search for new methods of increasing the preservation of erythrocytes after hypothermic storage ...

Altered membrane structure and surface potential in homozygous hemoglobin C erythrocytes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Hemoglobin C differs from normal hemoglobin A by a glutamate-to-lysine substitution at position 6 of beta globin and is oxidatively unstable. Compared to homozygous AA erythrocytes, homozygous CC erythrocytes contain higher levels of membrane ...
