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.

Structural prediction and in silico physicochemical characterization for mouse caltrin I and bovine caltrin proteins [PDF]
It is known that caltrin (calcium transport inhibitor) protein binds to sperm cells during ejaculation and inhibits extracellular Ca2+ uptake. Although the sequence and some biological features of mouse caltrin I and bovine caltrin are known, their ...

Control of erythroid differentiation: asynchronous expression of the anion transporter and the peripheral components of the membrane skeleton in AEV- and S13-transformed cells [PDF]
Chicken erythroblasts transformed with avian erythroblastosis virus or S13 virus provide suitable model systems with which to analyze the maturation of immature erythroblasts into erythrocytes.

Regions of the T cell receptor alpha and beta chains that are responsible for interactions with CD3. [PDF]
The T cell antigen receptor consists of the Ti alpha/beta heterodimer which recognizes antigen, and the associated CD3 chains, thought to be involved in signal transduction.

Why high intensity plaque is bright on MRI?
Although CT is an excellent imaging modality for detecting lipid pools and calcification in the atherosclerotic plaque, it cannot distinguish hemorrhage from fibrous tissue.

The GATA1s isoform is normally down-regulated during terminal haematopoietic differentiation and over-expression leads to failure to repress MYB, CCND2 and SKI during erythroid differentiation of K562 cells [PDF]
Background: Although GATA1 is one of the most extensively studied haematopoietic transcription factors little is currently known about the physiological functions of its naturally occurring isoforms GATA1s and GATA1FL in humans—particularly whether the ...
