Spring 2013
There has been significant interest in the literature on the possibility of using red blood cells (RBCs) derived from umbilical cord blood (cord RBCs) for neonatal transfusions. Low stability of cord RBCs during hypothermic storage necessitates the development of a cryopreservation method to...

Fall 2010
The current practice of red blood cell banking for transfusion medicine relies primarily on a six-week liquid storage. A growing demand for red blood cell (RBC) products has prompted the search for alternative preservation methods including dry storage. Being desiccation sensitive, attempts to...

Identifying and Characterizing Red Blood Cell Microvesiculation, Phosphatidylserine and CD47 Expression As a Predictor of Red Blood Cell In Vitro Quality Following Hypothermic Storage
DownloadSpring 2013
Abstract: Proper preservation of the quality of stored red blood cells (RBC) is fundamental for successful blood transfusion. RBC microparticles (RMPs) have been shown to be harmful effectors of inflammation and coagulation posttransfusion, as well as in vitro indicators of RBC function and...

Membrane water permeability as a quality predictor for red blood cells during hypothermic storage
DownloadSpring 2017
Hypothermic storage of red blood cell is essential in the field of transfusion medicine to fulfill the huge clinical demand for red blood cell products in situations of massive bleeding or red blood cell disorders. The prime goal of hypothermic storage is to maintain the quality and safety of...
