The effect of experimental hyperoxia on erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperoxia, calcium ions and pH value on the composition of major phospholipids in human erythrocyte membranes and erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function. To create a model of hyperoxia, we saturated

Targeted disruption of py235ebp-1: Invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium yoelii using an alternative Py235 erythrocyte binding protein [PDF]
Plasmodium yoelii YM asexual blood stage parasites express multiple members of the py235 gene family, part of the super-family of genes including those coding for Plasmodium vivax reticulocyte binding proteins and Plasmodium falciparum RH proteins.

Plasmodium falciparum ligand binding to erythrocytes induce alterations in deformability essential for invasion [PDF]
The most lethal form of malaria in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. These parasites invade erythrocytes, a complex process involving multiple ligand-receptor interactions.
