A combination of eyelid pressure patching and decellularized, dehydrated pure amniotic membrane basement membrane healed persistent corneal epithelial defects, according to a study published in ...

Next, we applied the OPSALC method to coat SiO 2 and polycaprolactone (PCL) particles using four erythrocyte cell membrane-mimicking lipid coatings (Figure 1 b) to study their influence on the overall ...

In this week's clinical tip, courtesy of CDOCS, Dr. Farhad Boltchi discusses the use of a double membrane socket graft and how it can be an effective solution for some oral surgery cases. "In this tip ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

To define the role of the spleen in the hemolytic anemia associated with erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, removal rates and patterns or organ sequestration of 51Cr-labeled PK erythrocyt ...

Hemolytic disease of the newborn typically refers to hemolysis caused by Rh or ABO incompatibility (1, 2), but a small proportion of cases are attributed to abnormal red blood cell morphology, ...

Presumably, as these families are studied with greater care, enzyme and membrane defects similar to those uncovered in the study of the hereditary hemolytic anemias will be found.

Prof. Yi Liu from Dalian University of Technology developed hierarchical defect-rich UiO-66 membrane through single-mode microwave-assisted epitaxial growth using hollow-structured seed layer ...

Vericel Corp.’s Maci for repairing cartilage defects in the knee has been approved by the U.S. FDA via a supplemental biologics license application. Using a patient’s own cells cultured on a porcine ...

Sodium transport by erythrocyte membranes was studied in hypertensive and normotensive humans and in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). The rate constants ...

Introduction Red blood cell (RBC) membranopathies encompass a group of disorders characterised by the defects of structural membrane proteins or abnormalities in membrane ion channels and include ...

The length and saturation of fatty acids in membranes affects membrane fluidity. For example, fatty acids in serum lipids or erythrocyte membranes can be used to calculate the lipophilic index.
