During the second half of the 20th century, blood bankers quickly expanded our knowledge
of human erythrocyte blood group antigens. By the dawn of the 21st century, several …

Arterial hypertension is a multifaceted condition influenced by numerous pathophysiological
factors. The key contributors to its pathogenesis encompass an unhealthy lifestyle …

The possible role of physiologic stress hormones in enhancing adhesion of sickle
erythrocytes (SS RBCs) to endothelial cells (ECs) in sickle cell disease (SCD) has not been …

1 Mechanical fluctuations of the cell membrane (CMFs) in human erythrocytes reflect the
bending deformability of the membrane‐skeleton complex. These fluctuations were …

This study was designed to investigate the dependency of the red blood cell deformability
upon activation of extra-and intracellular signaling pathways. Exposures of red blood cells …

More information is needed about the subtype of the beta-adrenergic receptor coupled to the
G-protein–adenylate cyclase (AC) system in human erythrocytes and about the optimal …

Background Malaria remains a serious health problem because resistance develops to all
currently used drugs when their parasite targets mutate. Novel antimalarial drug targets are …

Signaling pathways of red blood cells'(RBCs) micromechanics regulation, which are
responsible for maintaining microcirculation, constitute an important property of RBC …

Sickle red blood cells (SSRBCs) adhere to both endothelial cells (ECs) and the extracellular
matrix. Epinephrine elevates cyclic adenosine monophosphate in SSRBCs and increases …

To assess the physiological role of intracellular Ca 2+ in the changes of microrheological
red blood cell (RBC) properties (RBC deformability and aggregation), we employed several …
