Blood viscosity is determined by: (i) plasma viscosity, (ii) hematocrit, (iii) RBC deformability, (iv) RBC aggregation, and (v) altered oxygen status. These factors contribute to %dense RBC as measured by ADVIA hematology analyzer (Siemens, Tarrytown, NY, USA)67. These factors also lead t...
Mononuclear cells were isolated by density centrifugation from whole blood and seeded at 106cells/ml in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPMI (21875-034, Gibco)), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin, 292 µg/ml L-glutamine (10378-016, Gibco) and 10% heat-inactivated...
These could be signs of a low red blood cell count, also known as anemia. In this article, we’ll explore what anemia means, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Red Blood Cells and Their Function Before we dive into the specifics of anemia, let’s take a moment to appreciate ...
A low RDW (below 10.2%) means that the red blood cells vary very little in size. One reason for a low RDW level is macrocytic anemia. Macrocytic anemia is a blood disorder in which not enough red blood cells are produced, but the ones that are present are large. Another cause of a ...
Famine From Feast: Low Red Cell Vitamin C Levels in Diabetes EBioMedicine, Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2015, Pages 1586-1587 James M. MayView PDFAbstract Strategies to prevent diabetic microvascular angiopathy focus on the vascular endothelium. Because red blood cells (RBCs) are less deformable...
Spleen marginal zone (MZ) B cells are important for antibody responses against blood-borne antigens. The signals they use to detect exposure to blood are not well defined. Here, using intravital two-photon microscopy in mice, we observe transient contact

Red blood cells are primarily involved in the transportation of oxygen to body tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs and then from the body.
