Bioaccumulation of Blood Long-Chain Fatty Acids during Hemodialysis
Metabolites, 2022 Long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) serve as energy sources, components of cell membranes, and precursors for signaling molecules. Uremia alters LCFA metabolism so that the risk of cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increased.

Erythrocytes as Carriers: From Drug Delivery to Biosensors
Pharmaceutics, 2020 Drug delivery using natural biological carriers, especially erythrocytes, is a rapidly developing field. Such erythrocytes can act as carriers that prolong the drug’s action due to its gradual release from the carrier; as bioreactors with encapsulated ...

Modeling Red Blood Cell Metabolism in the Omics Era
Metabolites, 2023 Red blood cells (RBCs) are abundant (more than 80% of the total cells in the human body), yet relatively simple, as they lack nuclei and organelles, including mitochondria. Since the earliest days of biochemistry, the accessibility of blood and RBCs made

Cells, 2023 The bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic system (HS) gives rise to blood cells originating from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), including megakaryocytes (MKs) and red blood cells (erythrocytes; RBCs).

Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin [PDF]
Blood, 1972 Abstract Blood protoporphyrin (PROTO) concentration in man and animals has been studied as a possible means of assessing the relationship between iron supply and marrow requirements. There appear to be two fractions of PROTO: one at a level of about 30 µg/ 100 ml unrelated to either iron supply or cell age, and a second fraction that ...

The effect of silver-containing sorbent on red blood cells during hemosorption: an in vitro study
Сибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2022 The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of the original porous silver–containing sorbent on the morphofunctional parameters of red blood cells during in vitro hemoperfusion. Material and methods.

Oxidative insult can induce malaria-protective trait of sickle and fetal erythrocytes
Nature Communications, 2016 Plasmodium falciparum infections can cause severe malaria, but not every infected person develops life-threatening complications. In particular, carriers of the structural haemoglobinopathies S and C and infants are protected from severe disease ...

Erythrocytes and Vascular Function: Oxygen and Nitric Oxide
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Erythrocytes regulate vascular function through the modulation of oxygen delivery and the scavenging and generation of nitric oxide (NO). First, hemoglobin inside the red blood cell binds oxygen in the lungs and delivers it to tissues throughout the body

PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Erythrocyte polymorphisms associated with a survival advantage to Plasmodium falciparum infection have undergone positive selection. There is a predominance of blood group O in malaria-endemic regions, and several lines of evidence suggest that ABO blood

Interactions Between Aerolysin, Erythrocytes, and Erythrocyte Membranes [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1975 Aerolysin, a hemolytic and lethal exotoxin of Aeromonas hydrophila , was analyzed for amino acids. Assuming 8 histidine residues/mol, the purified toxic protein has, by summation, a molecular weight of 49,000, a value in agreement with earlier estimates by other methods.
