Structure and Adaptations of Red Blood Cells to their Function Biconcave ShapeOne of the most important adaptations of the red cells is their general shape. Generally, erythrocytes are shaped like a doughnut, without a hole in the middle. This is an important adaptation that allows the cell to...

Red blood cells (RBCs) are emerging as important regulators of cell function and survival. A small, but important body of literature has demonstrated that the inclusion of RBCs in culture with other cell types can initiate changes in the secretion profile and in the activity of those cells. Fo...
Additionally, we observed the mitochondrial and lysosomal morphology of ADSCs using an electronic microscope, MitoTracker Red, and lysotracker Red dyes. We assessed mitochondrial function by examining mitochondrial membrane potential and membrane fluidity, antioxidative ability, and cell energy metabolism. ...
Confirmation of red blood cell sorting, using flow cytometry. Aggregation of signals in the Q3 region is indicative of a mostly (90.2%) CD71+ (denoting RBC) cell population. Full size image Figure 2 Expression and methylation profiles of mRNAs in immature RBCs of Hb cs thalassemia (T) and ...
Vertebrate early embryogenesis is initially directed by a set of maternal RNAs and proteins, yet the mechanisms controlling this program remain largely unknown. Recent transcriptome-wide studies on RNA structure have revealed its pervasive and crucial ro
The lysosome represents an important regulatory platform within numerous vesicle trafficking pathways including the endocytic, phagocytic, and autophagic p
These unique biomechanical conditions require ECM adaptation, which is achieved predominantly by incorporating specific structural components into the respective matrices. In Drosophila, one of these components is the type IV collagen–like protein Pericardin, which is recruited specifically to cardiac ...
Furthermore, a PNP inhibitor abolished inosine uptake and metabolism as well as the ability to support Teff-cell proliferation and functions in vitro. Several previous studies have demonstrated inosine’s role in supporting bioenergetic activity and function in human red blood cells and in swine and...
