Rationale: Given the expanding number of COVID-19 cases and the potential for new waves of infection, there is an urgent need for early prediction of the severity of the disease in intensive care unit (ICU) patients to optimize treatment strategies.Objecti ...
Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels. Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging bifurcations, leading to a heterogeneous RBC distribution that ultimately affects ...
An increase of oxygen saturation within blood bags and metabolic dysregulation occur during storage of red blood cells (RBCs). It leads to the gradual exhaustion of RBC antioxidant protective system and, consequently, to a deleterious state of oxidative s ...
Once a bone substitute, previously seeded with human bone progenitor cells, is implanted in a femoral condyle of a rat, it’s of importance to determine the intensity of a cell-triggered immune response of the host. Different techniques can be used, such as ...
Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although most patients with COPD are smokers, the effects of cigarette smoke exposure on clearance of lung bacterial pathogens and on immune and ...
Quantitative phase (QP) images of red blood cells (RBCs), which are obtained by off-axis digital holographic microscopy, can provide quantitative information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology of human RBCs and the characteristic properties such as me ...
An extensive in vitro investigation of the host defence system was performed in 11 sibs of a large kindred with unexplained combination of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH), interstitial lung disease and increased susceptibility to respiratory in ...
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital red cell aplasia in which 25% of the patients have a mutation in the ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19) gene. To study effects of RPS19 deficiency in hematopoiesis we transduced CD34(+) umbilical cord blood (CB) and ...
Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 is an obligate organohalide respiring microorganism known to solely use tetra- or trichloroethene as electron acceptors with H2 as electron donor. The catalytic enzyme, PceA, contains a corrinoid as cofactor, a trait ...
Members of the Ets gene family are known to be expressed in the hematopoietic tissue and some of them play a pivotal role in normal hematopoietic cell development. Ets-1 gene expression was analyzed in Friend Leukemia Cells (FLC) induced to erythroid diffe ...
