Red blood cell, cellular component of blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and gives vertebrates’ blood its characteristic color. The mature human red blood cell is small, round, and biconcave. Red blood cells also carry carbon dioxid
The bone marrow consists of (1) hematopoietic stem cells, pluripotent cells capable of self-renewal; (2) progenitor cells that evolve into more differentiated cells with each cell division; (3) precursor cells that can be identified by light microscopy (not shown, see Fig. 13-3); and (4)...
with these diseases is tobacco smoke, which is discussed in a subsequent section. Endothelial Damage Maintenance of the integrity of the single layer of endothelial cells that lines all of the vascular system is critical for normal vessel function. The intact endothelium is a dynamic system. It ...

D3 Can we use red blood cells (RBC) for the study of the ubiquitous and renal specific forms of Na +/H + exchanger in essential hypertension?In the last two decades, major progress has been made in understanding the role of ... Orlov S.N.,Kuznetsov S.R.,Pokudin N.I.,... - 《...
from basal to adluminal compartments in the seminiferous tubules. Several bioactive peptides and biomolecules secreted by testicular cells regulate the BTB function and support spermatogenesis. These peptides activate various downstream signaling proteins and can also be the target themself, which could im...
cells using an optical C-trap and CD55+beads leads to accumulation of active RhoA and membrane retraction. Finally, we show that CD97 deficiency leads to a reduced T cell-independent IgM response. Thus, our studies provide evidence that MZ B cells use mechanosensing to position in a manner ...
During this period, ticks internalise components of host blood by endocytic digest cells that line the tick midgut epithelium. Using RNA-seq, we aimed to characterise the midgut transcriptome composition in adult Ixodes ricinus females during early and late phase of engorgement. To address specific ...
Here we show that, although monocytes are able to express langerin, when cultured with soluble ligands granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7), CD1c+ dendritic cells (DCs) become much more LC-...
The BBB consists of both a mechanical barrier comprising tight junctions between endothelial cells as well as active transport processes that limit the passage of drugs from the circulation to the brain9. A wide variety of approaches have been investigated to overcome the BBB and enhance the ...
