Abstract Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome accompanied by cardiovascular, skeletal, and urogenital abnormalities. Most of the affected individuals carry mutations in ribosomal proteins, including RPS19, a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit.

A post-genome-wide association study validating the association of the glycophorin C gene with serum hemoglobin level in pig [PDF]
Objective This study aimed to validate the statistical evidence from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) as true-positive and to better understand the effects of the glycophorin C (GYPC) gene on serum hemoglobin traits.

Chondrogenic potential of human articular chondrocytes and skeletal stem cells: a comparative study
Regenerative medicine strategies have increasingly focused on skeletal stem cells (SSCs), in response to concerns such as donor site morbidity, dedifferentiation and limited lifespan associated with the use of articular chondrocytes for cartilage repair.

Functional consequences of sphingomyelinase-induced changes in erythrocyte membrane structure. [PDF]
Inflammation enhances the secretion of sphingomyelinases (SMases). SMases catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide.

Abstract Background Activation of complement protein C3 generally enhances antibody responses and C3‐null mice have decreased antibody‐based immunity. Mener et al. have reported a paradoxical suppressor function for C3 in alloimmunization to transfused RBCs as alloantibodies are increased in C3‐null mice.

Magnetic and flow cytometry-based methods were used to characterize clonogenic stromal cells in human bone marrow. STRO-1bright stromal cells were found to lack expression of CD34, CD45 and glycophorin-A markers associated with hematopoietic progenitor ...

Novel antibodies directed against the human erythropoietin receptor: creating a basis for clinical implementation [PDF]
YesRecombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is an effective treatment for anaemia but concerns that it causes disease progression in cancer patients by activation of EPO receptors (EPOR) in tumour tissue have been contro- versial and have restricted

Genetic variation of glycophorins and infectious disease
Abstract Glycophorins are transmembrane proteins of red blood cells (RBCs), heavily glycosylated on their external-facing surface. In humans, there are four glycophorin proteins, glycophorins A, B, C and D. Glycophorins A and B are encoded by two similar genes GYPA and GYPB, and glycophorin C and glycophorin D are encoded by a single gene, GYPC.

Lipid-mediated interactions tune the association of glycophorin A helix and its disruptive mutants in membranes [PDF]
The specific and non-specific driving forces of helix association within membranes are still poorly understood. Here, we use coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations to study the association behavior of glycophorin A and two disruptive mutants, T87F ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.
