Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and repair in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells: protective role of hemoglobin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:DNA repair is a cellular defence mechanism responding to DNA damage caused in large part by oxidative stress. There is a controversy with regard to the effect of red blood cells on DNA damage and cellular response.

How Do Red Blood Cells Die?

Frontiers 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 ...

Red blood cell morphology [PDF]

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2013
SummaryThe foundation of laboratory hematologic diagnosis is the complete blood count and review of the peripheral smear. In patients with anemia, the peripheral smear permits interpretation of diagnostically significant red blood cell (RBC) findings. These include assessment of RBC shape, size, color, inclusions, and arrangement.

Drug transport by red blood cells

Frontiers 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

Renal Findings in Patients with Thalassemia at Abdominal Ultrasound: Should We Still Talk about “Incidentalomas”? Results of a Long-Term Follow-Up

Diagnostics
We retrospectively collected all ultrasound imaging data of our thalassemia patients over a period of 10 years with the aim of assessing the prevalence and the risk factors of renal stones and cysts.
