The adaptability of red blood cells [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular 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.

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN GLAUCOMA AND BLOOD GROUPS [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 2006
There are reports from different countries that some types of glaucoma are associated with blood groups. This cross-sectional study was performed on 400 glaucomatous patients [100 patients in each group of Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), chronic ...

The unsuspected "bodyguards" of red blood cells [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN 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.

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.

Drug transport by red blood cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
This review focuses on the role of human red blood cells (RBCs) as drug carriers. First, a general introduction about RBC physiology is provided, followed by the presentation of several cases in which RBCs act as natural carriers of drugs. This is due to

Changes in Hematological and Hemorheological Parameters Following Mild COVID-19: A 4-Month Follow-Up Study

open access: yesHematology Reports, 2023
Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was described to affect red blood cells (RBC) in both severe and mild disease courses. The aim of this study was to investigate whether hematological and hemorheological changes that were previously ...
