Polysarcosine emerges as a promising alternative to polyethylene glycol (PEG) in biomedical applications, boasting advantages in biocompatibility and degradability. While the self-assembly behavior of block copolymers containing polysarcosine-containing polymers has been reported, their potential for shape transformation remains largely untapped, limiting their versatility across various applications. In this study, we present a comprehensive methodology for synthesizing, self-assembling, and transforming polysarcosine-poly(benzyl glutamate) block copolymers, resulting in the formation of bowl-shaped vesicles, disks, and stomatocytes.

Cell polarity, the asymmetric distribution of proteins and organelles, is permanently or transiently established in various cell types and plays an important role in many physiological events. epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15 homology domain-binding protein 1-like 1 (EHBP1L1) is an adapter protein that is localized on recycling endosomes and regulates apical-directed transport in polarized epithelial cells. However, the role of EHBP1L1 in nonepithelial cells, remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • A 23-year-old woman was diagnosed with macrocytic hemolytic anemia and iron overload, making her case complex to classify.
  • Key lab findings included high serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, alongside low serum transferrin and ceruloplasmin.
  • Genetic testing revealed a new mutation in the PIEZO1 gene, previously linked to dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, emphasizing the need to consider this condition when diagnosing iron overload with hemolytic anemia in younger patients.

Background: Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHS) or hereditary xerocytosis is a rare, autosomal dominant hemolytic anemia characterized by macrocytosis, presence of stomatocytes and dehydration of red blood cells (RBCs). The dehydration is caused by a defect in cellular cation content. The most frequent expression of the pathology is hemolytic well-compensated anemia with high reticulocyte count, a tendency to macrocytosis, increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mild jaundice.

Piezo1, encoded by the gene , is an erythrocytic cellular membrane mechanoactivated cation channel. Mutations have been implicated in erythrocyte volume disorders (EVDs)-especially hereditary xerocytosis (HX)/dehydrated stomatocytosis (DHS). We identified three patients, all with novel mutations, but only one displaying the HX/DHS phenotype.
