The Shrinking Blind Spot: How Freeze–Thaw Obscures Microscopic Evidence of Ante-Mortem Ecchymosis [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Histological examination constitutes a fundamental methodology for establishing the vitality of a lesion. In cases where the corpse is preserved for an extended duration of time prior to the post-mortem evaluation, particularly if ...

Mechanistic Insights into Mancozeb-Induced Redox Imbalance and Structural Remodelling Affecting the Function of Human Red Blood Cells [PDF]

Antioxidants
Mancozeb is a broad-spectrum fungicide used extensively in agriculture to protect crops against a wide range of plant diseases. Although its capacity to induce oxidative stress is well documented, the cytotoxic effects of mancozeb on red blood cells ...

Polar/Ionizable residues in transmembrane segments: effects on helix-helix packing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The vast majority of membrane proteins are anchored to biological membranes through hydrophobic α-helices. Sequence analysis of high-resolution membrane protein structures show that ionizable amino acid residues are present in transmembrane (TM) helices,

Oxidative Stress and Cytoskeletal Reorganization in Hypertensive Erythrocytes [PDF]

Antioxidants
Oxidative stress is widely recognized as a key mechanism in the development of hypertension. Under pathological conditions, such as in hypertension, oxidative stress leads to irreversible posttranslational modifications of proteins, which result in loss ...

A Balance between Transmembrane-Mediated ER/Golgi Retention and Forward Trafficking Signals in Glycophorin-Anion Exchanger-1 Interaction

Cells, 2022
Anion exchanger-1 (AE1) is the main erythroid Cl−/HCO3− transporter that supports CO2 transport. Glycophorin A (GPA), a component of the AE1 complexes, facilitates AE1 expression and anion transport, but Glycophorin B (GPB) does not.

The accumulation of erythrocytes quantified and visualized by Glycophorin C in carotid atherosclerotic plaque reflects intraplaque hemorrhage and pre-procedural neurological symptoms

Scientific Reports, 2023
The accumulation of erythrocyte membranes within an atherosclerotic plaque may contribute to the deposition of free cholesterol and thereby the enlargement of the necrotic core.

Myeloperoxydase and CD15 With Glycophorin C Double Staining in the Evaluation of Skin Wound Vitality in Forensic Practice

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundThe determination of skin wound vitality based on tissue sections is a challenge for the forensic pathologist. Histology is still the gold standard, despite its low sensitivity.

Relationship of high-intensity plaques on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with coronary intraplaque hemorrhage: A directional coronary atherectomy study

American Heart Journal Plus, 2021
Background: Although intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) has been identified as a key feature of rupture-prone plaques, noninvasive imaging-based features for its detection in coronary artery have not been clearly established.

MNSs blood group glycophorin variants in Taiwan: a genotype-serotype correlation study of 'Mi(a)' and St(a) with report of two new alleles for St(a). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundGlycophorin variants of the MNSs blood group are important in Taiwan. For more than 20 years, screening for the most frequent irregular antibody, anti-''Mi(a)', has been conducted by using 'Mi(a)'(+) RBCs, with a significant success.
