Can morphological changes of erythrocytes be driven by hemoglobin? [PDF]
, 2017 At 49 C erythrocytes undergo morphological changes due to an internal force, but the origin of the force that drives changes is not clear. Here we point out that our recent experiments on thermally induced force-release in hemoglobin can provide an explanation for the morphological changes of erythrocytes.

Diseased Erythrocyte Enrichment Based on I-Shaped Pillar DLD Arrays
MicromachinesEnrichment of erythrocytes is a necessary step in the diagnosis of blood diseases. Due to the high deformability and viscosity of erythrocytes, they cannot be regarded as stable point-like solids, so the influence of their deformability on fluid dynamics

Impact of erythrocytes properties on blood surface tension
AIMS Biophysics, 2019 Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that occurs as a result of the presence of a cohesive force between molecules of the liquid. Many biological processes depend on wetting and interfacial tension.

Red Blood Cells as Potential Repositories of MicroRNAs in the Circulatory System
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 The amount of erythrocyte-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) represents the majority of miRNAs expressed in whole blood. miR-451, miR-144, and miR-486, which are abundant in red blood cells (RBCs), are involved in the process of erythropoiesis and disease ...

A Novel Deep Learning based Model for Erythrocytes Classification and Quantification in Sickle Cell Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The shape of erythrocytes or red blood cells is altered in several pathological conditions. Therefore, identifying and quantifying different erythrocyte shapes can help diagnose various diseases and assist in designing a treatment strategy. Machine Learning (ML) can be efficiently used to identify and quantify distorted erythrocyte morphologies.

Frontiers in Zoology, 2013 BackgroundIn contrast to mammalian erythrocytes, which have lost their nucleus and mitochondria during maturation, the erythrocytes of almost all other vertebrate species are nucleated throughout their lifespan.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

Vitex agnus-castus L.: Essential oil increases human erythrocyte membrane fluidity [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2012 Erythrocyte membrane fluidity is related to their rheologic behavior, the dynamic quality of erythrocytes, which is tempted in hypertension and atherosclerosis.
