About red blood cells and the young cells that make them in bone marrow
  • adjective
  • /ɪˈrɪθrɔɪd/
  • Specialized
: eritroide
  • Of note, genetic manipulation of lincRNA-EPS expression did not alter erythroid differentiation, which suggests that its biological activities may be limited to influencing the apoptotic pathway.
  • erythroid cells
  • erythroid progenitors
  • erythroid progenitor cell line

Examples

  • The study focused on the maturation of erythroid precursors in the bone marrow.

  • The transition from PSCs to erythroid progenitor cell lines is associated with extensive chromatin remodeling that ensures activation of erythroid-specific genes.

  • So here's an example region which is active in HSCS and erythroid cells but not in B cells.

  • Genetic manipulation of erythroid progenitor cell lines provides the possibility of developing on-and-off strategies.

  • It will therefore be interesting to investigate this new facet of erythroid development and to extend the scope of known IncRNA actions.

  • IFN- promotes anemia related to a decreased number of active erythroid progenitors; the presence of anti-inflammatory cytokines results in increased erythroid apoptosis.

  • IFN- promotes anemia related to a decreased number of active erythroid progenitors; the presence of anti-inflammatory cytokines results in increased erythroid apoptosis.

  • It is therefore conceivable that nuclear condensation and enucleation of erythroid cells generated in the presence of glucocorticoids might be improved by adding histone deacetylase activators in phase 3 cultures.

  • Erythroid cells are essential for carrying oxygen in the bloodstream.

  • Doctors examine erythroid levels to diagnose various blood disorders.

Morphology

erythroid = erythro (opaque) = erythro + oid

The combining form 'erythro' and the suffix '-oid' are both specialized and not transparent to general learners.

Etymology

The word erythroid comes from the Greek root erythro- meaning 'red' and the ending -oid meaning 'like', as in humanoid. So erythroid means 'red-like' and is used for cells that are related to red blood cells.
