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 …

To investigate the mechanism of the regulation of human red blood cell deformability, we
examined the deformability under mechanical stress. Washed human red blood cells were …

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 …

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 …

Increases in the second messenger cAMP are associated with receptor-mediated ATP
release from erythrocytes. In other signaling pathways, cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases …

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

Osmotic shock, oxidative stress and Cl− removal activate a non-selective Ca 2+-permeable
cation conductance in human erythrocytes. The entry of Ca 2+ leads to activation of a …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to establish that the prostacyclin (PGI2) receptor
(IP receptor) is present on rabbit and human erythrocytes and that its activation stimulates …

The characteristics of beta adrenergic receptors of human erythrocyte membranes were
investigated using (-) 125iodocyanopindolol as a radioligand. Inhibition of (-) …
