Deformability is an essential feature of blood cells (RBCs) that enables them to travel
through even the smallest capillaries of the human body. Deformability is a function of (i) …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in pregnancy, revealed by the presence of
placental‐derived EVs in maternal blood, their in vitro functionality, and their altered cargo in …

Background: The ability to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood is vital in the
development of EVs as disease biomarkers. Both serum and plasma can be used, but few …

Glutaraldehyde is a well-known substance used in biomedical research to fix cells. Since
hemolytic anemias are often associated with red blood cell shape changes deviating from …

When red blood cells (RBCs) pass constrictions or small capillaries they need to pass
apertures falling well below their own cross section size. We used different means of …

Mean values of hematological parameters are currently used in the clinical laboratory
settings to characterize red blood cell properties. Those include red blood cell indices …

The Gardos channel is a Ca2+ sensitive, K+ selective channel present in several tissues
including RBCs, where it is involved in cell volume regulation. Recently, mutations at two …

Semi-anadromous animals experience salinity fluctuations during their life-span period.
Alterations of environmental conditions induce stress response where catecholamines (CA) …

Introduction: Hematologists analyze microscopic images of red blood cells to study their
morphology and functionality, detect disorders and search for drugs. However, accurate …

Erythrocytes represent at least 60% of all cells in the human body. During circulation, they
experience a huge variety of physical and chemical stimulations, such as pressure, shear …
