Role of Calcium in Phosphatidylserine Externalisation in Red Blood Cells from Sickle Cell Patients
Phosphatidylserine exposure occurs in red blood cells (RBCs) from sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and is increased by deoxygenation. The mechanisms responsible remain unclear. RBCs from SCD patients also have elevated cation permeability, and, in particular, a deoxygenation-induced cation condu...
