New emerging evidence is now prompting researchers to devote greater focus on the roles
played by red blood cells (RBCs) in hemostasis. This short narrative review aims to outline …

New evidence has stirred up a long‐standing but undeservedly forgotten interest in the role
of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), in blood clotting and its disorders. This review …

In contrast to an obsolete notion that erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBC s), play a passive
and minor role in haemostasis and thrombosis, over the past decades there has been …

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) have been increasingly recognized to play important roles in
hemostasis and the mechanisms by which they do so continue to be elucidated. First and …

Red blood cells (RBCs) participate in haemostasis and thrombosis through their
biochemical properties, biomechanical and rheological properties, intercellular interactions …

Red blood cells (RBCs) have historically been considered passive bystanders in
thrombosis. However, clinical and epidemiological studies have associated quantitative and …

The multiple roles of red blood cells (RBCs) are often neglected as contributors in
hemostasis and thrombosis. Proactive opportunities to increase RBC numbers, either …

Most biomedical textbooks teach that coagulation and thrombosis are primarily a function of
endothelial cells, platelets, and soluble coagulation factors. Red blood cells, in contrast, are …

The role of erythrocytes in thrombus formation has previously been regarded as passive by
their influence on rheology. Erythrocytes are known, due to their abundance and size, to …

Erythrocytes (from ancient Greek erythros for “red” and kytos for “cavity”) are the most
frequent cellular elements (95%) in blood. They develop in hematopoietic tissues (the bone …
