Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have revolutionized the field of drug delivery through their
applications in siRNA delivery to the liver (Onpattro) and their use in the Pfizer-BioNTech …

Red blood cells (RBCs) constitute a unique drug delivery system as a biologic or hybrid
carrier capable of greatly enhancing pharmacokinetics, altering pharmacodynamics (for …

The red cell membrane skeleton is a pseudohexagonal meshwork of spectrin, actin, protein
4.1 R, ankyrin, and actin-associated proteins that laminates the inner membrane surface and …

The SLC4 family consists of 10 genes (SLC4A1–5; SLC4A7–11). All encode integral
membrane proteins with very similar hydropathy plots—consistent with 10–14 …

Infection with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)
and the associated coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19) might affect red blood cells (RBC); …

The human transglutaminase (TG) family consists of a structural protein, protein 4.2, that
lacks catalytic activity, and eight zymogens/enzymes, designated factor XIII-A (FXIII-A) and …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contribute to several pathophysiological processes and appear
as emerging targets for disease diagnosis and therapy. However, successful translation from …

Recent research has provided an abundance of new information on membrane
biochemistry. Now more than ever, it is essential to update our current understanding of …

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a family of antioxidant proteins that reduce peroxide levels by
using reducing agents such as thioredoxin. These proteins were characterized to have a …

We have studied the membrane proteins of band 3 anion exchanger (AE1)–deficient mouse
and human red blood cells. It has been shown previously that proteins of the band 3 …
