Umbilical cord blood-derived RBC transfusion appears feasible in extremely preterm infants, with a smaller drop in foetal ...

Over the course of COVID-19 pandemic, the use of ECMO has increased significantly. However, we find hemolysis happens gradually in ECMO, where RBCs experience periodic squeezes with low stress but ...

In transfusion medicine, the deformability of stored red blood cells (RBCs) changes during storage in blood banks. Compromised RBC deformability can reduce the transfusion efficiency or intensify ...

This review focuses on the role of human red blood cells (RBCs) as drug carriers. First, a general introduction about RBC physiology is provided, followed by the presentation of several cases in which ...

The 3D opening of the interendothelial slit in human spleen creates a physical fitness test for red blood cells (RBCs) and clears them from circulation if their geometry and deformability are altered.

Quantifying physical differences of protein aggregates implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), in blood, could provide crucial information on disease stages. Here, red blood cells (RBCs) from 50 ...

Most of the articles in this research topic focus on processes associated with the plasma membrane of reticulocytes and mature erythrocytes. Membranes of red blood cells (RBCs) do not only serve as a ...

Researchers have exposed the overlooked role of red blood cells (RBC) in the immune system and discovered a new drug target for the treatment of acute anemia, a symptom of inflammatory diseases like ...
