  • Title: Adhesion of sickle red cells to endothelium: myths and future directions.
    Author: Hebbel RP.
    Journal: Transfus Clin Biol; 2008; 15(1-2):14-8. PubMed ID: 18501652.
    Abstract:
    Sickle RBC are abnormally adherent to vascular endothelial cells. We briefly review the mechanisms that underlie this type of cell/cell adhesion, expose a number of extant myths about RBC adhesion, and discuss some aspects that need consideration via future experimentation. The relationship of this phenomenon of RBC-endothelial adhesion to the cytoadherence of parasitized sickle RBC is not yet clear.
