Erythrocytes (RBCs) are extremely sensitive cells, and although they do not have nuclei and
mitochondria, are important health indicators. This is particularly true because, during …

α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a small (Mr 14,200), acidic (pI 4–5), Ca2+-binding protein. α-LA is a
regulatory component of lactose synthase enzyme system functioning in the lactating …

Eryptosis is a coordinated non-lytic cell death of erythrocytes characterized by cell
shrinkage, cell membrane scrambling, Ca2+ influx, ceramide accumulation, oxidative stress …

Eryptosis is a regulated cell death (RCD) of mature erythrocytes initially described as a
counterpart of apoptosis for enucleated cells. However, over the recent years, a growing …

In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis characterized by
cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling. Eryptotic erythrocytes are rapidly cleared …

End stage renal disease (ESRD) invariably leads to anemia which has been mainly
attributed to compromised release of erythropoietin from the defective kidneys with …

Background: The microtubule assembly inhibitor nocodazole has been shown to trigger
caspase-independent mitotic death and caspase dependent apoptosis. Similar to apoptosis …

The HAMLET family of compounds (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made Lethal to Tumours)
was discovered during studies on the properties of human milk, and is a class of protein-lipid …

Abstract α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) can bind oleic acid (OA) to form the anti-tumor α-LA-OA
complex. Previous studies suggested α-LA-OA induced apoptosis or autophagy in an …

Many proteins form complexes called liprotides with oleic acid and other cis-fatty acids
under conditions where the protein is partially unfolded. The complexes vary in structure …
