eISSN 2093-6338 there is no de nite marker to distinguish MDS from other hematologic diseases based on the patient’s peripheral blood. Findings of dysplastic features from peripheral blood are limited. Large or abnormally granulated platelets, pseudo–Pelger-Huët anomaly and hypogranular cytoplasm in neutrophils, basophilic stippling, and poikilocytosis in red blood cells (RBCs) are features that can be observed in a peripheral blood smear using light microscopy [1]. However, these features are…

Measurements of 3-D morphology of individual red blood cells upon localized photothermal effects using gold nanorods

This work investigated the in-situ photothermal response of human red blood cells by combining photothermal heat generation and 3D quantitative phase imaging techniques and investigated the irreversible deformation of RBCs when multiple intense excitation shocks are applied.

Volumetric refractive index measurement and quantitative density analysis of mouse brain tissue with sub-micrometer spatial resolution

This work presents high-resolution label-free volumetric imaging and analysis of mouse brain tissue using three-dimensional quantitative phase imaging and measurement of the refractive index distribution of tissue enables direct imaging of the cellular and subcellular structures.

The experiments in this paper identify some of the underlying determinates of cell shape and appear to be evidence that the difference in the densities between the rim and the dimple regions of red blood cells and their ghosts may be responsible for their biconcave shape.

Lipid bilayer and cytoskeletal interactions in a red blood cell

The DPD simulations serve as validation of the unique two-component model and lead to useful insights into the biomechanical interactions between the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton of the RBC, and provide a basis for further studies to probe cell mechanistic processes in health and disease.
