Background: Circulating CD71 red blood cells (RBCs) have been reported to play an immunomodulatory role in vivo, which may contribute to adverse donor-recipient sex-mismatched transfusion outcomes. However, it is not clear how CD71 RBC quantity in red cell concentrates (RCCs) is affected by manufacturing methods and donor factors such as donor sex, donor age, pre-donation hemoglobin (Hb), venous Hb (Hb ) levels, and donation frequency.

Methods: We determined CD71 RBCs and Hb levels in whole blood (WB) from healthy donors (42 male/38 female). Using small-scale red cell filtration (RCF) and whole blood filtration (WBF) methods, leukoreduced RCCs were processed from WB samples (n = 6) and the CD71 RBCs were determined at days 1, 7, and 28. We examined uni- and multivariate associations among CD71 RBCs, donor factors, and manufacturing method.

Results: Male donors had a higher CD71 RBC concentration than females (p < .001), especially male donors aged 17-50 years with 1 or 2 WB donations over the previous 12 months. Donors with a Hb above 155 g/L had a higher CD71 RBC concentration than an Hb level below 140 g/L (p < .05). There was a positive correlation between pre-donation Hb and CD71 RBC concentration (Pearson r = 0.41). WBF RCCs had a higher total number of CD71 RBCs than RCF-produced RCCs on day 1 (p < .05).

Discussion: RCCs have variable numbers of CD71 RBCs. This makes understanding the impact of donor factors and manufacturing methods on the immunomodulatory effect of CD71 RBCs critical in exploring donor-recipient sex-mismatched transfusions.

Dendrimers are a wide range of nanoparticles with desirable properties that can be used in many areas of medicine. However, little is known about their potential use in wound healing. This study examined the properties of phosphorus dendrimers that were built on a cyclotriphosphazene core and pyrrolidinium (DPP) or piperidinium (DPH) terminated groups, to be used as potential factors that support wound healing ().

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has garnered significant attention in the field of tumor therapy due to its ability to convert overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (HO) in tumors into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) through metal ion-mediated catalysis. However, the effectiveness of CDT is hindered by low catalyst efficiency, insufficient intra-tumor HO level, and excessive glutathione (GSH). In this study, a pH/GSH dual responsive bimetallic nanocatalytic system (CuFeMOF@GOx@Mem) is developed by modifying red blood cell membranes onto glucose oxidase (GOx)-loaded Fe-Cu bimetallic MOFs, enhancing the efficacy of CDT through a triple-enhanced way by HO self-supply, catalysts self-cycling, and GSH self-elimination.

Mitochondria play critical roles in regulating cell fate, with dysfunction correlating with the development of multiple diseases, emphasizing the need for engineered nanomedicines that cross biological barriers. Said nanomedicines often target fluctuating mitochondrial properties and/or present inefficient/insufficient cytosolic delivery (resulting in poor overall activity), while many require complex synthetic procedures involving targeting residues (hindering clinical translation). The synthesis/characterization of polypeptide-based cell penetrating diblock copolymers of poly-L-ornithine (PLO) and polyproline (PLP) (PLO-PLP, n:m ratio 1:3) are described as mitochondria-targeting nanocarriers.

: Depression often coexists with anemia, potentially sharing common pathways, highlighting the need for treatments addressing both conditions simultaneously. This study evaluated the effect of probiotics on red blood cell (RBC) parameters in adults with depressive disorder. We hypothesized that probiotics would positively influence RBC parameters, potentially modulated by baseline inflammation or dietary intake, with improved RBC function correlating with better antidepressant outcomes.
