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 …

The erythrocytes of mammals represent a good model to evaluate the cytotoxicity of
molecules, organic and inorganic, natural or synthetic, by cellular damage measure. Indeed …

Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane
scrambling, is stimulated by Ca 2+ entry through Ca 2+-permeable, PGE 2-activated cation …

Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by erythrocyte shrinkage, cell
membrane blebbing, and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation …

Significance: Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death, is characterized by cell shrinkage,
membrane blebbing, and phosphatidylserine translocation to the outer membrane leaflet …

Background: Anemia is a major complication of end stage renal disease. The anemia is
mainly the result of impaired formation of erythrocytes due to lack of erythropoietin and iron …

Fumagillin is a mycotoxin produced, above all, by the saprophytic filamentous fungus
Aspergillus fumigatus. This mold is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause invasive …

Saponins, naturally occurring glycosides and triterpene glycosides in plants, are considered
useful in the prophylaxis and treatment of several disorders, including malignancy. The …

Background/Aims: Anemia, a common condition in the elderly, could result from impaired
formation and/or from accelerated loss of circulating erythrocytes. The latter could result from …

Background/Aims: Klotho deficiency results in excessive formation of 1, 25 (OH) 2 D 3,
accelerated ageing and early death. Moreover, klotho deficiency enhances eryptosis, the …
