During storage, RBCs undergo various metabolic, structural and morphological changes,
the so-called storage lesions1. The acceptable extent of the metabolic changes forms a …

Red blood cell storage lesion (RSL) is a multifaceted biological phenomenon. It refers to
deterioration in RBC quality that is characterized by lethal and sub-lethal, reversible and …

One of the hallmarks of blood bank stored red blood cells (RBCs) is the irreversible
transition from a discoid to a spherocyte‐like morphology with membrane perturbation and …

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. The high red …

Background. We used sensitive spectroscopic techniques to measure changes in Band 3
oligomeric state during storage of packed red blood cells (RBC); these changes were …

The currently available data suggest that efforts toward improving the quality of red blood
cell (RBC) blood bank products should concentrate on:(1) preventing the removal of a …

Elucidating the precise mechanisms of cumulative red cell damages during storage and the
potential harmful consequences after transfusion are achievable by exacting laboratory …

Although the molecular pathways leading to the progressive deterioration of stored red
blood cells (RBC storage lesion) and the clinical relevance of storage‐induced changes …

Aim: In this study, we performed weekly assessment of morphology‐related parameters
through monitoring of CPD‐SAGM leuco‐filtered erythrocyte concentrates from blood …

During storage, red blood cells (RBC) become more susceptible to hemolysis and it has also
been shown that RBC deformability, which is influenced by RBC nitric oxide synthase (RBC …
