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.

Measurement and models accounting for cell death capture hidden variation in compound response. [PDF]
Cancer cell sensitivity or resistance is almost universally quantified through a direct or surrogate measure of cell number. However, compound responses can occur through many distinct phenotypic outcomes, including changes in cell growth, apoptosis, and

Antiphosphatidylserine antibody as a cause of multiple dural venous sinus thromboses and ST-elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Objective: Rare disease Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by antibodies directed against phos-pholipids on plasma membranes. Through unclear mechanisms, APS confers hypercoagulability.

Enzymatic synthesis and decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine in Tetrahymena pyriformis
Cell-free extracts of the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis have been found to catalyze the following reactions: Phosphatidylethanolamine+L-Serine⇌Phosphatidylserine+EthanolaminePhosphatidylserine→Phosphatidylethanolamine+CO2Net:L-Serine→Ethanolamine ...

Sublytic Terminal Complement Components Induce Eryptosis in Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia Related to IgM Autoantibodies [PDF]
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Eryptosis, the suicidal death of red blood cells (RBCs), is characterized by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure at the cell surface. It can be catalysed by a variety of abnormal conditions and diseases.

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase from Clostridium butyricum.
Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase activity has been characterized in membrane preparations from Clostridium butyricum ATCC 19398. A particulate fraction was shown to catalyze the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine and plasmenylethanolamine when ...

Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface [PDF]
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is a phospholipid that is abundant in eukaryotic plasma membranes. An ATP-dependent enzyme called flippase normally keeps PtdSer inside the cell, but PtdSer is exposed by the action of scramblase on the cell's surface in biological processes such as apoptosis and platelet activation.

Aggregation of Red Blood Cells: From Rouleaux to Clot Formation [PDF]
Red blood cells are known to form aggregates in the form of rouleaux. This aggregation process is believed to be reversible, but there is still no full understanding on the binding mechanism.
