Red blood cells (RBCs) are a specialised organ that enabled the evolution of multicellular
organisms by supplying a sufficient quantity of oxygen to cells that cannot obtain oxygen …

Background During cold storage, some red blood cell (RBC) units age more rapidly than
others. Yet, the Food and Drug Administration has set a uniform storage limit of 42 days …

Permanent availability of red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion depends on refrigerated
storage, during which morphologically altered RBCs accumulate. Among these, a …

Background Red blood cells collected in citrate-phosphate-dextrose can be stored for up to
42 days at 4 C in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol additive solution. During this controlled …

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 …

BACKGROUND Storage lesion may explain the rapid clearance of up to 25% of transfused
red blood cells (RBCs) in recipients. Several alterations affect stored RBC but a quantitative …

Transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) to patients in critical states is often
accompanied by post-transfusion complications. This may be related with disturbance of …

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a life-saving treatment for several pathologies. RBCs for
transfusion are stored refrigerated in a preservative solution, which extends their shelf-life for …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are active components of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates and
may be associated with beneficial and adverse effects of transfusion. Elucidating …

The process of protein phosphorylation is involved in numerous cell functions. In particular,
phosphotyrosine (pY) has been reported to play a role in red blood cell (RBC) functions …
