  2. Inclusion bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_bodies

    Inclusion bodies have a non-unit (single) lipid membrane [citation needed].Protein inclusion bodies are classically thought to contain misfolded protein.However, this has been contested, as green fluorescent protein will sometimes fluoresce in inclusion bodies, which indicates some resemblance of the native structure and researchers have recovered folded protein from inclusion bodies.

  3. Acanthocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthocyte

    Acanthocytes, from peripheral blood, under light microscopy. Note the irregularly shaped, non-circular cells in the image. Acanthocyte (from the Greek word ἄκανθα acantha, meaning 'thorn'), in biology and medicine, refers to an abnormal form of red blood cell that has a spiked cell membrane, due to thorny projections.

  4. Rouleaux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouleaux

    So, the presence of rouleaux can also be a cause of disease because it will restrict the flow of blood throughout the body because capillaries can only accept free-flowing singular and independent red blood cells.

  5. Sideroblastic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideroblastic_anemia

    The mean cell volume is commonly decreased (i.e., a microcytic anemia), but it may also be normal or even high. The RDW is increased with the red blood cell histogram shifted to the left. Leukocytes and platelets are normal. Bone marrow shows erythroid hyperplasia with a maturation arrest.In excess of 40% of the developing erythrocytes are ...

  6. Erythrocyte aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocyte_aggregation

    Erythrocyte aggregation is a physiological phenomenon that takes places in normal blood under low-flow conditions or at stasis. The presence or increased concentrations of acute phase proteins, particularly fibrinogen, results in enhanced erythrocyte aggregation.

  7. Dacrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacrocyte

    One theory regarding dacrocyte formation is that red blood cells containing various inclusions undergo "pitting" by the spleen to remove these inclusions, and in the process, they can be stretched too far to return to their original shape. [2]

  8. Basophilic stippling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basophilic_stippling

    Blood smear showing red blood cells with basophilic stippling. Basophilic stippling, also known as punctate basophilia, is the presence of numerous basophilic granules that are dispersed through the cytoplasm of erythrocytes in a peripheral blood smear.

  9. I-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-cell

    Histological slide of the human herpes virus-6 showing infected cells, with inclusion bodies in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Inclusion bodies were first described in the late 19th and 20th centuries. One of the earliest figures associated with the discovery of inclusion bodies is Fritz Heinrich Jakob Lewy.
