Erythrocyte Function and Pathophysiology

Erythrocyte Function and Pathophysiology is a research topic within Physiology. Science Explorer counts 48k research works in it since 1950. 18.4% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the role of mechanosensitive ion channels, particularly Piezo1 and Piezo2, in various physiological processes such as mechanotransduction, erythrocyte function, sensory neuron response, and erythropoiesis. It also explores the implications of these channels in diseases related to erythrocytes, sensory perception, and cellular mechanosensation.
