Changing trends of splenectomy in hereditary spherocytosis: The experience of a reference Centre in the last 40 years

Cristina Vercellati et al.

Summary: This study describes the clinical and hematological characteristics of 446 patients with hereditary spherocytosis diagnosed in a reference center over the past 40 years. The frequency of splenectomy has decreased over time, possibly due to an increasing awareness of the risks of thrombosis and infection after splenectomy.

Organization and Dynamics of the Red Blood Cell Band 3 Anion Exchanger SLC4A1: Insights From Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Antreas C. Kalli et al.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations provide valuable insights into the structure and function of the red blood cell Band 3 anion exchanger. These simulations reveal specific lipid and protein interactions and have been used to reconstruct a model of the Wright blood group antigen complex of Band 3 and Glycophorin A. Current research is focused on describing the real-time trajectory of substrate binding and translocation.

Characterization of hereditary red blood cell membranopathies using combined targeted next-generation sequencing and osmotic gradient ektacytometry

Joan-Lluis Vives-Corrons et al.

Summary: The combination of t-NGS and LoRRca has proven to be effective in identifying mutations in RBC membranopathies in patients with hereditary hemolytic anemia, contributing to a better understanding of the role of RBC rheology in anemia severity. Out of 42 patients studied, 83.8% had mutations identified, while 26.2% remained undiagnosed despite suspected membranopathy.

Cell physiology and molecular mechanism of anion transport by erythrocyte band 3/AE1

Michael L. Jennings

Summary: The major transmembrane protein of the red blood cell, band 3, plays a crucial role in Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻3 exchange and anchoring the membrane skeleton. Research on band 3 has provided insights into protein structure, ion transport mechanisms, and its involvement in cell abnormalities and acidosis. The identification of genetic variants and crystal structure information have paved the way for detailed molecular models of transport and integrative relationships with other molecules during gas exchange in capillaries.

Screening tools for hereditary hemolytic anemia: new concepts and strategies

Elisa Fermo et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in specific molecules and treatments for hereditary hemolytic anemias have increased the focus on differential diagnosis and the need for novel diagnostic assays and devices. Automated blood cell analyzers, omic-approaches including NGS technologies, and the development of new automated tools based on artificial neural networks are considered the future strategies in this field.

Diagnosis and clinical management of red cell membrane disorders

Theodosia A. Kalfa

Summary: Accurate diagnosis and management of red blood cell membranopathies are crucial in patients with hereditary hemolytic anemias. Genetic testing has improved diagnostic accuracy and highlighted the importance of thorough phenotypic assessment for variants of unknown clinical significance. Research findings suggest that traditional treatment methods may not always be effective for certain patients.
