Golden blood" or Rh-null is the rarest blood type in the world, with fewer than 50 known carriers globally. This universal donor blood type lacks Rh antigens, making it precious yet highly challenging ...

The cryopreservation of red blood cells (RBCs) holds great potential for ensuring timely blood transfusions and maintaining an adequate RBC inventory. Cryoprotectants (CPAs) are a series of ...

The main four groups of antigens were first discovered roughly 120 years ago. Now, there are currently 45 recognized blood group systems, which roughly has 362 red blood cell antigens in the mix.

While it's pretty common knowledge that different people have different blood types, that information might actually mean a lot more than you think.

SQZ TACs are a red blood cell-derived cell therapy candidate being developed as an antigen-specific immune tolerance platform. The platform is designed to leverage the natural process of RBC ...

As of November 2023, there were 45 recognized blood group systems containing 362 red blood cell antigens that are genetically determined by 50 genes.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) almost universally develop anemia, leading to a need for extended periods of red blood cell (RBC) or platelet transfusion support. With lingering ...

The A antigens can be extended to yield galactose (Gal)-A and H type 3 structures. Additional extension of H type 3 yields A type 3 antigen. Besides, an extended B antigen (ExtB) was reported in 2019.
