Red blood cells (RBCs) are a specialised organ that enabled the evolution of multicellular
organisms by supplying a sufficient quantity of oxygen to cells that cannot obtain oxygen …

Red blood cells (RBCs) are the most abundant cells in the body, possessing unique
biological and physical properties. RBCs have demonstrated outstanding potential as …

Red blood cell (RBC) storage in the blood bank promotes the progressive accumulation of
metabolic alterations that may ultimately impact the erythrocyte capacity to cope with oxidant …

Permanent availability of red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion depends on refrigerated
storage, during which morphologically altered RBCs accumulate. Among these, a …

Hypoxanthine catabolism in vivo is potentially dangerous as it fuels production of urate and,
most importantly, hydrogen peroxide. However, it is unclear whether accumulation of …

Cytotoxicity quantification of nanoparticles is commonly performed by biochemical assays to
evaluate their biocompatibility and safety. We explored quantitative phase imaging (QPI) …

Introduction: Since 1956 there have been numerous scientific articles about free radical
theory of aging which both confirm and deny the theory. Due to oxygen metabolism, there …

Red blood cells (RBCs) must be highly deformable to transit through the microvasculature to
deliver oxygen to tissues. The loss of RBC deformability resulting from pathology, natural …

Holographic cytometry is introduced as an ultra-high throughput implementation of
quantitative phase imaging of single cells flowing through parallel microfluidic channels …

Transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) to patients in critical states is often
accompanied by post-transfusion complications. This may be related with disturbance of …
