We prepared highly oriented, multi-lamellar stacks of human red blood cell (RBC) membranes applied on silicon wafers. RBC ghosts were prepared by hemolysis and applied onto functionalized silicon chips and annealed into multi-lamellar RBC membranes. High resolution X-ray diffraction was used to ...
Based on the protocol for the preparation of red blood cell ghosts, small RBC vesicles were produced and applied onto functionalized silicon chips and annealed into multi-lamellar, planar membranes. Molecular structure of the RBC membranes was analyzed by high resolution X-ray diffraction. The X-...
Elucidation of the structural changes in the red blood cell induced by parasite invasion and maturation and an understanding of the accompanying functional alterations have the ability to considerably extend our knowledge of structure-function relationships in the normal red blood cell. Furthermore, ...

Red Blood Cell Anatomy and Description Red blood cells are small cells that do not have a nucleus. They are shaped like a disc with an indentation in the middle, which makes them look a little bit like a doughnut. Because they are so small, they can fit through the tiny capillaries wher...
Red blood cell (RBC) blood group antigens are polymorphic, inherited, carbohydrate or protein structures located on the extracellular surface of the RBC membrane. They contribute to the architecture of the RBC membrane, and their individual function(s) are being slowly revealed. The biological quali...
Fish without red blood cells For some red cell aficionados, it may come as a surprise to find a group of vertebrates that live without red blood cells! Nevertheless, the group of fish called ‘ice-fish’ (family Channichthyidae), suborder notothenioiri represent a case in point [37]. ...
Fig. 1. Diagram of the red blood cell (RBC)-hitchhiking strategy. Various (different materials, sizes, and material coatings) ivermectin (IVM)-loaded nanoparticles were prepared and adsorbed onto the RBC surface in a non-covalent manner to form a RBC-nanoparticles complex. The RBC-hitchhiked ...
