Article Synopsis
- - Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are tiny particles (1 to 100 nanometers) made from magnetic materials, possessing unique properties that differ from larger forms; they are increasingly used in various fields such as medicine and technology.
- - Their small size and magnetic behavior allow for manipulation with external magnetic fields, making them useful for targeted medical applications like drug delivery and imaging, while also being explored for environmental and energy-related uses.
- - Despite the growing applications of MNPs, there are important concerns about their safety, such as potential toxicity and how they interact with cells, which is becoming a focus of both research and clinical studies.
Red blood cell (RBC) storage solutions have evolved significantly over the past decades to optimize the preservation of cell viability and functionality during hypothermic storage. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of various storage solutions and conditions on critical RBC parameters during refrigerated preservation. A wide range of solutions, from basic formulations such as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), to advanced additive solutions (ASs), like AS-7 and phosphate, adenine, glucose, guanosine, saline, and mannitol (PAGGSM), are systematically compared in terms of their ability to maintain key indicators of RBC integrity, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, morphology, and hemolysis.
