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.

Cardiopulmonary bypass in a rat model may shorten the lifespan of stored red blood cells by activating caspase-3.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundRed blood cell transfusion is required for many types of surgery against cardiovascular disease, and the function of transfused cells appears to decline over time.

Velocimetry of red blood cells in microvessels by the dual-slit method: Effect of velocity gradients [PDF]

, 2012
The dual-slit is a photometric technique used for the measurement of red blood cell (RBC) velocity in microvessels. Two photometric windows (slits) are positioned along the vessel.

Freeze-thaw lysates of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells induce differentiation of functionally competent regulatory T cells from memory T cells. [PDF]

, 2012
In addition to naturally occurring regulatory T (nTreg) cells derived from the thymus, functionally competent Treg cells can be induced in vitro from peripheral blood lymphocytes in response to TCR stimulation with cytokine costimulation.

Red Blood Cells: Chasing Interactions

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.

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 ...

The quality of stored umbilical cord and adult-donated whole blood in Mombasa, Kenya. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa umbilical cord blood may be a useful source of blood for transfusion. Before clinical trials, evidence is needed that cord blood donations, which vary greatly in volume, can be collected and stored into a fixed volume of

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.
