Smoking and Increased White and Red Blood Cells: A Mendelian Randomization Approach in the Copenhagen General Population Study

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2019
Objective— Whether tobacco smoking causally affects white and red blood cells and thrombocyte counts is unknown. Using a Mendelian randomization approach, we tested the hypothesis that smoking causes increases in these blood cell indices.

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.

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.

Large-scale in-vitro production of red blood cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

bioRxiv, 2019
Transfusion of donor-derived red blood cells is the most common form of cellular therapy. Donor availability and the potential risk of alloimmunization and other transfusion-related complications may, however, limit the availability of transfusion units ...

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.

Glutaraldehyde – A Subtle Tool in the Investigation of Healthy and Pathologic Red Blood Cells

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Glutaraldehyde is a well-known substance used in biomedical research to fix cells. Since hemolytic anemias are often associated with red blood cell shape changes deviating from the biconcave disk shape, conservation of these shapes for imaging in general

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

Superior survival of ex vivo cultured human reticulocytes following transfusion into mice

Haematologica, 2017
The generation of cultured red blood cells from stem cell sources may fill an unmet clinical need for transfusion-dependent patients, particularly in countries that lack a sufficient and safe blood supply.

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.
