Treatment of human erythrocytes with high glucose concentrations altered the content and distributions of three tubulin isotypes, with consequent reduction of erythrocyte deformability and osmotic resistance. In erythrocytes ...

Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is present in many tissues; its presence in serum may be related to certaininflammatory conditions, tissue damage, sepsis, liver malfunction and some malignancies. In the present work, ...

Formation of tubulin/Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) complex in erythrocytes of hypertensive subjects results in a 50% reduction in NKA activity. We demonstrate here that detyrosinated tubulin, which is increased in hypertensive ...

In the last few years, erythrocytes have emerged as the main determinant of blood rheology. In mammals, these cells are devoid of nuclei and are, therefore, unable to divide. Consequently, all circulating erythrocytes come ...

The simultaneous determination of adhesion and deformability parameters of erythrocytes was carried out through a microfluidic device, which uses an inverted optical microscope with new image acquisition and analysis ...

Our previous studies demonstrated formation of a complex between acetylated tubulin and brain plasma membrane Ca2 +-ATPase (PMCA), and the effect of the lipid environment on structure of this complex and on PMCA activity. ...
