Following red blood cells in a pulmonary capillary [PDF]
ESAIM: Proc., 2008, Vol. 23, pp. 48-65, 2007 The red blood cells or erythrocytes are biconcave shaped cells and consist mostly in a membrane delimiting a cytosol with a high concentration in hemoglobin.

Red Blood Cells: Chasing Interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Human red blood cells (RBC) are highly differentiated cells that have lost all organelles and most intracellular machineries during their maturation process. RBC are fundamental for the nearly all basic physiologic dynamics and they are key cells in the body's respiratory system by being responsible for the oxygen transport to all cells and tissues ...

The Red Blood Cells on the Move! [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Following the steps of the founders of modern red blood cell (RBC) research (e.g., Ørskov, 1935; Wilbrandt, 1937; Cohn and Cohn, 1939; Ponder, 1948; Pauling et al., 1949), we answer to the growing need of a platform to share and discuss the new findings, argue and move forward in our understanding of these amazing cells.

Red Blood Cell Magnetophoresis [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2003 The existence of unpaired electrons in the four heme groups of deoxy and methemoglobin (metHb) gives these species paramagnetic properties as contrasted to the diamagnetic character of oxyhemoglobin. Based on the measured magnetic moments of hemoglobin and its compounds, and on the relatively high hemoglobin concentration of human erythrocytes, we ...

Shape-Shifted Red Blood Cells: A Novel Red Blood Cell Stage? [PDF]
Cells, 2018 Primitive nucleated erythroid cells in the bloodstream have long been suggested to be more similar to nucleated red cells of fish, amphibians, and birds than the red cells of fetal and adult mammals. Rainbow trout Ficoll-purified red blood cells (RBCs) cultured in vitro undergo morphological changes, especially when exposed to stress, and enter a new ...

The maturation of reticulocytes. II. Life-span of red cells originating from stress reticulocytes [PDF]
, 1975 Life-spans of macroreticuloytes and macrocytic red cells were studied. Rabbits were made anemic by injecting phenylhydrazine. Peripheral blood rich in reticulocytes was drawn, labeled with 3H-amino acids, and injected back into the anemic animal ...

Viscoelastic transient of confined Red Blood Cells [PDF]
, 2014 The unique ability of a red blood cell to flow through extremely small microcapillaries depends on the viscoelastic properties of its membrane. Here, we study in vitro the response time upon flow startup exhibited by red blood cells confined into ...

The unsuspected "bodyguards" of red blood cells [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Transferrin is the main intrabody carrier of iron. An in-depth analysis of the struc- ture, conformation distribution and functions of this protein allowed us to predict its unsuspected “non-canonical” function in the metabolism of mature red blood cells.

Rare-cell enrichment by a rapid, label-free, ultrasonic isopycnic technique for medical diagnostics [PDF]
, 2014 One significant challenge in medical diagnostics lies in the development of label-free methods to separate different cells within complex biological samples.

The adaptability of red blood cells [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2013 The most important function of red blood cells (RBCs) is the carrying of oxygen, but they are also involved in inflammatory processes and during coagulation. RBCs are extremely deformable and elastic, as they are exposed to shear forces as they travel through the vascular system.
