1. Preoperative deposit of autologous blood. Effects on inflammatory mediators
Abstract : Blood contains complex cascade systems and substances that can be activated during the processing of blood components and storage. Allogeneic blood, i.e. blood from someone else, is normally separated into components before storage and transfusion, while autologous blood (the patient s own blood) often is used as whole blood.

2. Towards a detailed understanding of the red blood cell storage lesion : and its consequences for in vivo survival following transfusion
Abstract : Red blood cells (RBCs) are vital for oxygen delivery to tissues and constitute the vast majority of all cells in blood. After leaving the red bone marrow as mature cells, RBCs have a lifespan of approximately 120 days before they are removed from the circulation by macrophages, mainly in the spleen and liver.

3. Phosphatidylethanol - formation and degradation in blood and organs
Abstract : Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is an abnormal phospholipid formed exclusively by the action of phospholipase D (PLD) in the presence of ethanol. The degradation of PEth is slow and due to its accumulation in some cells the possibility to use PEth as marker of ethanol intake has been proposed. READ MORE

4. Development of new blood banking strategies for processing and storage of red blood cell components
Abstract : The field of red blood cell (RBC) components has been quite uneventful during the last few decades, save for the experimental exploration of alternative additive solution compositions. The reason is likely that the RBC quality has been good enough and the shelf-life of conventional RBC concentrates (RCC) has been long enough to not really motivate the workload that any dramatic changes would implicate.

5. Multiplexed absolute quantification of blood plasma proteins using targeted proteomics
Abstract : Proteins are the molecular building blocks of all living organisms. They are the functioning actors in metabolism and communication, and they give specific architecture and purpose to all tissues. Their abundance is dynamic and can be interpreted and associated to different physiological states or diseases. READ MORE
