Small amounts of nanometer-thin metal-organic layers efficiently protect red blood cells during ... of the three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks until only two-dimensional thin nanolayers ...

The researchers' model shows that reorganization of the cytoskeleton could account for such deformation. Every red blood cell has a cytoskeleton ... breaking either of two types of cytoskeletal ...

Physicists investigate the forces that deform red blood cells into asymmetric ... France and his colleagues modeled the cells as two-dimensional fluid-filled sacks flowing in a liquid.

Going with the flow: artist's impression of red blood cells ... is that it “used two different and quite different modelling approaches along with an experiment”. He adds, “In order to model ...

Quantum dots diffuse within living cells in a nearly two-dimensional fashion. This result ... cells – one of the most common types of biological cell, and the model of choice for cellular studies.

In the June 8 Nature Medicine, researchers led by Li-Huei Tsai at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, debuted a model that combined endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericyte-like ...

The researchers grew red blood cells from those stem cells and transfused them into two healthy volunteers. The transfusions involved only a tiny amount of blood: the equivalent of one or two ...

Here’s how it works. Two people in the U.K. are the first ever to receive transfusions of lab-grown red blood cells. The pair are healthy volunteers in the "Recovery and survival of stem cell ...
