Significance Complement system activation occurs in sickle cell disease and other hemolytic disorders, but the pathological relevance and the acquisition of a complement-activating phenotype by host cells during hemolysis remain unclear.

Analysis on Evaluation Method of Mechanically-Induced Hemolysis of Medical Devices
Mechanically-induced hemolysis is an important index for evaluating the blood compatibility of medical devices. It mainly evaluates the risk of mechanical hemolysis under simulated clinical use conditions of medical devices.

Investigating the effect of turbulence on hemolysis through cell-resolved fluid-structure interaction simulations [PDF]
Existing hemolysis algorithms are often constructed for laminar flows that expose red blood cells to a constant rate of shear. It remains an open question whether such models are applicable to turbulent flows, where there is a significant variation in shear rate along cell trajectories. To evaluate the effect of turbulence on hemolysis, we perform cell-

Intravascular hemolysis activates complement via cell-free heme and heme-loaded microvesicles.
In hemolytic diseases, such as sickle cell disease (SCD), intravascular hemolysis results in the release of hemoglobin, heme, and heme-loaded membrane microvesicles in the bloodstream.

Invisible hemolysis in serum samples interferes in NSE measurement
Introduction: The accuracy of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) measurements is critical, particularly in neurologic diseases and cancer. NSE measurements are compromised by slight, even invisible, hemolysis, which can produce apparently higher NSE ...

Shape Optimization of hemolysis for shear thinning flows in moving domains [PDF]
We consider the $3$D problem of shape optimization of blood flows in moving domains. Such a geometry is adopted to take into account the modeling of rotating systems and blood pumps for instance. The blood flow is described by generalized Navier-Stokes equations, in the particular case of shear-thinning flows.

CONTEXT The efficient sequestration of hemoglobin by the red blood cell membrane and the presence of multiple hemoglobin clearance mechanisms suggest a critical need to prevent the buildup of this molecule in the plasma.

PeptideBERT: A Language Model based on Transformers for Peptide Property Prediction [PDF]
Recent advances in Language Models have enabled the protein modeling community with a powerful tool since protein sequences can be represented as text. Specifically, by taking advantage of Transformers, sequence-to-property prediction will be amenable without the need for explicit structural data.
