Erythrocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and megakaryocytes (platelets) all originate from the same common progenitors called pleuripotent stem cells, [1, 4, 5] however, only RBC development is ...

Often a definitive diagnosis is confirmed only after repeat testing of the patient later in infancy since an older infant would have increased numbers of adult erythrocytes.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Exported proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum interact with proteins of the erythrocyte membrane and induce substantial changes in the morphology, physiology and function of the ...

A variety of other pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed including inhibition of red blood cell (RBC) enzymes (6) and direct erythrocyte membrane damage resulting in reduced ATP ...

These data provide the first unequivocal evidence that the jejunal brush border membrane is the site of a specific defect in sodium dependent glucose transport in glucose-galactose malabsorption.

The bulk of the red blood cell membrane proteins are partitioned between two multiprotein complexes, one associated with ankyrin R and the other with protein 4.1R. Here we examine the effect of ...

Spontaneous wound healing of the amniotic membrane (AM) does not occur after invasive fetal therapy. A visible membrane defect is seen in the majority of cases. Attempts to seal the defect with glues ...

An asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in the membrane bilayer is inseparable from physiological functions, including shape preservation and survival of erythrocytes, and by implication other ...

The increased number of these anomalous Pyd aggregates indicates significant nephrocyte membrane defects in tumor hosts (Fig. 4I). The Pyd aggregates were not significantly increased in the ...

In particular, we showed that defects in WRN’s exonuclease activity confer error-proneness on error-free TLS through CPDs by Polη, and on error-free TLS opposite 1,N 6 ethenodeoxyadenosine (εdA) by ...
