Abstract: It is generally believed that human mature erythrocytes do not possess functional ribosomes and therefore cannot synthesize proteins. However, the absence of translation is not consistent with the long lifespan of mature erythrocytes. They stay… read more here.

DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2022008392
Abstract: Key Points • Bending stress exerted on the plasma membrane by sickle hemoglobin polymerization enhances sulfatide-mediated adhesion of mature erythrocytes in SCD.• Inflammatory sphingomyelinase activity could result in abnormal adhesion and membrane damage in sickle… read more here.
