Vesiculation of Red Blood Cells in the Blood Bank: A Multi-Omics Approach towards Identification of Causes and Consequences

Proteomes, 2020
Microvesicle generation is an integral part of the aging process of red blood cells in vivo and in vitro. Extensive vesiculation impairs function and survival of red blood cells after transfusion, and microvesicles contribute to transfusion reactions ...

Integration of biomimetic organoid-on-chip and 2D models advances the mechanistic Understanding of STEAP3-mediated regulation in intestinal viral infection

Scientific Reports
Traditional investigations of viral infection mechanisms have predominantly relied on two-dimensional (2D) cell culture models, which lack the structural organization and physiological relevance of native tissues.

Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Epimastigogenesis in Trypanosoma cruzi: Strain-Specific Dynamics and Temperature-Dependent Differentiation

Life
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, undergoes epimastigogenesis—a critical differentiation step in which trypomastigotes transform into epimastigotes. While this process is essential for the parasite’s survival in its insect vector,

Vesicular release of glutamate utilizes the proton gradient between the vesicle and synaptic cleft

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2010
Glutamate is released from synaptic vesicles following formation of a fusion pore, connecting the vesicle interior with the synaptic cleft. Release is proposed to result from either full fusion of the vesicle with the terminal membrane or by ‘kiss-

Safety of Daprodustat for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease Anemia: Final Analysis of a Multicenter Postmarketing Surveillance Study in Japan

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This final analysis of a multicenter, prospective postmarketing surveillance study evaluated the safety of daprodustat in patients with chronic kidney disease anemia in routine clinical practice in Japan. Methods Patients who initiated daprodustat between September 2020 and July 2022 were registered.

Regulation and Roles of Metacyclogenesis and Epimastigogenesis in the Life Cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi

Pathogens
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, exhibits remarkable developmental plasticity that enables its survival across distinct environments within the insect vector and mammalian host.

Mechanisms tagging senescent red blood cells for clearance in healthy humans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
This review focuses on the analysis and evaluation of the diverse senescence markers suggested to prime red blood cells (RBC) for clearance in humans. These tags develop in the course of biochemical and structural alterations accompanying RBC aging, as ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

NINJ1 oligomerises on large apoptotic cell-derived extracellular vesicles to regulate vesicle stability and cellular content release

Frontiers in Immunology
Billions of cells undergo apoptosis, a non-inflammatory form of programmed cell death, daily as part of normal development and homeostasis. Apoptotic cells undergo apoptotic cell disassembly to release large extracellular vesicles (EVs) called apoptotic ...

Cytokine-induced release of ceramide-enriched exosomes as a mediator of cell death signaling in an oligodendroglioma cell line[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
Th1 pro-inflammatory cytokines, i.e., TNF-α and IFN-γ, in combination are known to induce cell death in several cell types, including oligodendrocytes, but the mechanism of their synergistic cytotoxicity is unclear.
