Toxoplasma gondii adhesion and apoptosis of chicken erythrocytes
Animal Diseases, 2023 Toxoplasma gondii is thought to infect all nucleated cells in warm-blooded animals, including poultry, mammals, and humans. However, it is unclear whether T. gondii can infect chicken erythrocytes due to the nucleated nature of these cells.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 In the lumen of blood vessels, there are large numbers of erythrocytes, which are approximately 95% of the total blood cells. Although the function of erythrocytes is to transport oxygen in the organism, recent studies have shown that mammalian and ...

Erythrocyte sedimentation: Fracture and collapse of a high-volume-fraction soft-colloid gel [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 088101 (2022), 2021 The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is one of the oldest medical diagnostic methods whose physical mechanisms remain debatable up to date. Using both light microscopy and mesoscale cell-level simulations, we show that erythrocytes form a soft-colloid gel.

Streptococcus pneumoniae invades erythrocytes and utilizes them to evade human innate immunity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Streptococcus pneumoniae, a Gram-positive bacterium, is a major cause of invasive infection-related diseases such as pneumonia and sepsis. In blood, erythrocytes are considered to be an important factor for bacterial growth, as they contain abundant ...

Erythrocyte sedimentation: Effect of aggregation energy on gel structure during collapse [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 105, 024610 (2022), 2021 The erythrocyte (or red blood cell) sedimentation rate (ESR) is commonly interpreted as a measure of cell aggregation and as a biomarker of inflammation. It is well known that an increase of fibrinogen concentration, an aggregation-inducing protein for erythrocytes, leads to an increase of the sedimentation rate of erythrocytes, which is generally ...

Effect of acute experimental aluminum poisoning on hematologic parameters [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria, 2012 Having in mind the presence of aluminum in industry, as well as in households, we wanted to define changes in the number of erythrocytes and aluminum content in the plasma and erythrocytes following acute aluminum poisoning under experimental ...

Anisotropic short-range attractions precisely model branched erythrocyte aggregates [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2023, 19, 8717-8728, 2023 Homogeneous suspensions of red blood cells (RBCs or erythrocytes) in blood plasma are unstable in the absence of driving forces and form elongated stacks, called rouleau. These erythrocyte aggregates are often branched porous networks -- a feature that existing red blood cell aggregation models and simulations fail to predict exactly. Here we establish
