Red blood cells (RBC) are the most abundant cell in the human body, with a central role in
oxygen transport and its delivery to tissues. However, omics technologies recently revealed …

Introduction: Recently, the classification of two 'novel'organs, the mesentere and interstitium,
was saluted as a scientific breakthrough and disseminated into mainstream media. The …

A great deal of interest has been attracted by backof-the-envelope calculations suggesting
that bacterial cells (recently revised to be~ 3.9× 1013) outnumber the total number of host …

Red blood cell (RBC) storage in the blood bank promotes the progressive accumulation of
metabolic alterations that may ultimately impact the erythrocyte capacity to cope with oxidant …

Oxygen dependent modulation of red blood cell metabolism is a long investigated issue.
However, the recent introduction of novel mass spectrometry-based approaches lends itself …

Biochemical investigations on the regulatory mechanisms of red blood cell (RBC) and
platelet (PLT) metabolism have fostered a century of advances in the field of transfusion …

BACKGROUND Red blood cells (RBCs) are thought to have a relatively simple metabolic
network compared to other human cell types. Recent proteomics reports challenge the …

Red blood cells (RBCs) have been shown to affect immune function and can induce
inflammatory responses after transfusion. The transfusion of washed RBCs can significantly …

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 …

BACKGROUND Biological and technical variability has been increasingly appreciated as a
key factor impacting red blood cell (RBC) storability and, potentially, transfusion outcomes …
