Acid Sphingomyelinase Inhibition Prevents Hemolysis During Erythrocyte Storage

Background/Aims: During storage, units of human red blood cells (pRBCs) experience membrane destabilization and hemolysis which may cause harm to transfusion recipients. This study investigates whether inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase could stabilize erythrocyte membranes and prevent hemolysis du...
