Laboratory investigations often require centrifugation of blood samples for various erythrocyte tests. Although there is a lack of data about the effect of centrifugation at various g force levels on erythrocyte rheological properties. We aimed to investigate the effect of a 10-minute centrifugation at 500, 1000 or 1500 g at 15°C of rat, dog, pig and human venous (K3-EDTA, 1.5 mg/ml) blood samples. Hematological parameters, erythrocyte deformability, cell membrane stability, osmotic gradient ektacytometry (osmoscan) and erythrocyte aggregation were determined. Hematological and erythrocyte deformability parameters showed interspecies differences, centrifugation caused no significant alterations. Cell membrane stability for human erythrocytes centrifuged at higher g level showed less decrease in deformability. Osmoscan O min parameter showed slight elevation in dog centrifuged aliquots. Erythrocyte aggregation parameters changed unexpectedly. Rat and dog erythrocyte aggregation indices significantly dropped in centrifuged aliquots. Pig erythrocyte aggregation indices increased significantly after centrifugation. Human erythrocyte aggregation was the most stable one among the investigated species. The used centrifugation protocols caused the largest alterations in erythrocyte aggregation in a controversial way among the investigated species. On the other hand, erythrocyte deformability parameters were stable, cell membrane stability and osmoscan data show minor shifts.

Many brain-targeting drug delivery strategies have been reported to permeate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via hijacking receptor-mediated transport. However, these receptor-based strategies could mediate whole-brain BBB crossing due to the wide intracranial expression of target receptors and lead to unwanted accumulation and side effects on healthy brain tissues. Inspired by brain metastatic processes and the selectivity of brain metastatic cancer cells for the inflammatory BBB, a biomimetic nanoparticle was developed by coating drug-loaded core with the inflammatory BBB-seeking erythrocyte-brain metastatic hybrid membrane, which can resist homotypic aggregation and specially bind and permeate the inflammatory BBB for specific drug delivery.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is significantly characterized by cognitive and memory impairments, which worsen significantly with age. In the late stages of AD, metal ion disorders and an imbalance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels occur in the brain microenvironment, which causes abnormal aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ), leading to a significant worsening of the AD symptoms. Therefore, we designed a composite nanomaterial of macrophage membranes-encapsulated Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs/MM).

Introduction: Since mechanical thrombectomy has allowed ischaemic stroke thrombus retrieval, the exhaustive study of this material has enabled better understanding of the potential physiopathological processes involved in thrombus formation.
Development: Thrombotic pathways involved in the different vascular beds share common mechanisms, causing difficulties in the identification of specific patterns associated with stroke aetiology. However, other factors such as clot formation time, associated inflammatory status, or activation of additional immune and coagulation pathways (neutrophil extracellular trap [NET] delivery, platelet aggregation, endothelial activation, and von Willebrand Factor release) have been described as determinants in thrombus characteristics.

Unlabelled: The condition of gastrointestinal tract determines in many respects the regenerative capacity and the risk of complications in patients with extensive skin burns. However, the mechanism of developing vascular dysfunction in the colon in the burned individuals has so far been poorly studied. is to study intramural circulatory disorders of the colon using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in different time periods after modeling a thermal burn.

The development of safe and efficient hemostatic materials is medically important to prevent death due to trauma bleeding. Exploiting the synergistic effect between the D-periodic functional domain of collagen fibrils on platelet activation and cationic chitosan on erythrocyte aggregation is expected to develop performance-enhanced hemostatic materials. In this study, we prepared collagen fibrils and chitosan composite hemostatic materials by modulating the self-assembled bionic fibrillation of collagen with different degrees of deacetylation (DD, 50%, 70% and 85%) of chitosan.
