Red blood cells in thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 2017
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have historically been considered passive bystanders in thrombosis. However, clinical and epidemiological studies have associated quantitative and qualitative abnormalities in RBCs, including altered hematocrit, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, hemolytic anemias, and malaria, with both arterial and venous

How Do Red Blood Cells Die?

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Normal human red blood cells have an average life span of about 120 days in the circulation after which they are engulfed by macrophages. This is an extremely efficient process as macrophages phagocytose about 5 million erythrocytes every second without ...

Deformability of Stored Red Blood Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Red blood cells (RBCs) deformability refers to the cells’ ability to adapt their shape to the dynamically changing flow conditions so as to minimize their resistance to flow.

Red blood cells: the forgotten player in hemostasis and thrombosis

open access: yesJournal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2019
New evidence has stirred up a long‐standing but undeservedly forgotten interest in the role of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), in blood clotting and its disorders. This review summarizes the most recent research that describes the involvement of

Red Blood Cells and Their Immunoregulatory Role. [PDF]

open access: yesMed Princ Pract
The physiological roles played by red blood cells (RBCs), i.e. oxygen transport to all cells and tissues, CO2 delivery to the lungs, control of pH in blood and ions transport into and out of the cell membrane, have been investigated extensively over the past decades. The roles mature and immature RBCs play, while in the blood vessels, when they come in

New-Generation Ektacytometry Study of Red Blood Cells in Different Hemoglobinopathies and Thalassemia

open access: yesThalassemia Reports, 2023
Next-generation ektacytometry provided by the osmoscan module of the Laser Optical Rotational Red Cell Analyser (LoRRca) MaxSis is, so far, one of the best complementary diagnostic tools for congenital rare anaemias due to red blood cell defects. Osmotic
