ENPNewswire-August 30, 2019--University of Bristol: Artificial red
blood cells enable research into malaria invasion
Over time, the number of immature, defective cells in the bone marrow of a person with MDS may exceed the number of healthy cells, and result in lower numbers of red
blood cells, white
blood cells and platelets in the blood.
The researchers found that these painful events are most likely to be produced by immature red
blood cells, called reticulocytes, which are more prone to stick to blood vessel walls.
When they used flow cytometry to examine the red
blood cells, they found an increase in reactive oxygen species, a natural byproduct of oxygen use that is destructive at high levels.
And why do they only impair the maturation of red
blood cells?
It determines the percentage of red
blood cells present.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red
blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have red
blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin.
Locking malaria inside red
blood cells may prevent mosquitoes from spreading the disease from person to person, and researchers may now know which key to throw away.
This new research challenges what textbooks have long read: That blood stem cells maintain the day to-day renewal of blood, a conclusion drawn from their importance in re-establishing
blood cell populations after bone marrow transplants--a fact that still remains true.

blood cells assume, when compressed during clot formation.
