The porosity of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) ensures bidirectional passive
transport of lipoproteins, drugs and solutes between the liver capillaries and the liver …

Changes to the membrane proteins and rearrangement of the cytoskeleton must occur for a
reticulocyte to mature into a red blood cell (RBC). Different mechanisms of reticulocyte …

Red blood cell research is important for both, the clinical haematology, such as transfusion
medicine or anaemia investigations, and the basic research fields like exploring general …

Background/Aims: A high surface-to-volume ratio and a spectrin membrane-skeleton (MS)
confer to the mammalian red blood cells (RBCs) their characteristic deformability …

Within the context of erythropoiesis and the possibility of producing artificial red blood cells
(RBCs) in vitro, a most critical step is the final differentiation of enucleated erythroblasts, or …

Background: Old human red blood cells (RBCs) have a reduced surface area with respect to
young RBCs. If this decrease occurred through the release of vesicles similar to the spectrin …

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a radiotherapy treatment based on the
accumulation in the tumor of a 10 B-containing drug and subsequent irradiation with low …

Tank-treading (TT) motion is established in optically trapped, live red blood cells (RBCs)
held in shear flow and is systematically investigated under varying shear rates, temperature …

The cell type of election for the study of cell membranes, the mammalian non-nucleated
erythrocyte, has been scarcely considered in the research of membrane rafts of the plasma …

The terminal differentiation of reticulocytes to mature red blood cells (RBCs) in mammals is a
topic of intense investigation. Although much has been learned about the early phase of …
