Ex Vivo Activation of Red Blood Cell Senescence by Plasma from Sickle-Cell Disease Patients: Correlation between Markers and Adhesion Consequences during Acute Disease Events

Biomolecules, 2021
BACKGROUND: Blood transfusion remains a key treatment for managing occlusive episodes and painful crises in sickle-cell disease (SCD). In that clinical context, red blood cells (RBCs) from donors and transfused to patients, may be affected by plasma ...

Molecular Electroporation and the Transduction of Oligoarginines

, 2009
Certain short polycations, such as TAT and polyarginine, rapidly pass through the plasma membranes of mammalian cells by an unknown mechanism called transduction as well as by endocytosis and macropinocytosis.

Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer. [PDF]

, 2019
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Upon initial diagnosis, the majority of patients present with widespread metastatic growth within the peritoneal cavity. This metastatic growth occurs in stages, with the formation of a

Physiological consequences of disruption of mammalian phospholipid biosynthetic genes

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
By 1959, Eugene Kennedy and coworkers had outlined most pathways of phospholipid biosynthesis. In the next four decades, the emphasis was on enzymology and regulation of these pathways.

Nanoscopic Spatial Association between Ras and Phosphatidylserine on the Cell Membrane Studied with Multicolor Super Resolution Microscopy

Biomolecules, 2022
Recent work suggests that Ras small GTPases interact with the anionic lipid phosphatidylserine (PS) in an isoform-specific manner, with direct implications for their biological functions.

Phosphatidylserine polarization is required for proper Cdc42 localization and for development of cell polarity. [PDF]

, 2010
We used genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to visualize the distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in live S. cerevisiae. The majority of the PS was found to reside in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane.

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]

, 2020
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Fluoxetine Induced Suicidal Erythrocyte Death

Toxins, 2013
The antidepressant fluoxetine inhibits ceramide producing acid sphingomyelinase. Ceramide is in turn known to trigger eryptosis the suicidal death of erythrocytes characterized by cell shrinkage and exposure of phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte ...
