A Novel Physiology-Based Mathematical Model to Estimate Red Blood Cell Lifespan in Different Human Age Groups
Direct measurement of red blood cell (RBC) survival in humans has improved from the original accurate but limited differential agglutination technique to the current reliable, safe, and accurate biotin method....

Models for the red blood cell lifespan
The lifespan of red blood cells (RBCs) plays an important role in the study and interpretation of various clinical conditions. Yet, confusion about the meanings of fundamental terms related to cell survival an...

A Mass Balance-Based Semiparametric Approach to Evaluate Neonatal Erythropoiesis
Postnatal hemoglobin (Hb) production in anemic preterm infants is determined by several factors including the endogenous erythropoietin levels, allogeneic RBC transfusions administered to treat anemia, and dev...

A Method to Evaluate Fetal Erythropoiesis from Postnatal Survival of Fetal RBCs
Fetal RBCs are produced during a period of very rapid growth and stimulated erythropoiesis under hypoxic intrauterine conditions. Fetal RBC life span varies with gestational age (GA) and is shorter than that i...

Measurement of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid in urine from marginally biotin-deficient humans by UPLC-MS/MS
Measurement of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid (3HIA) in human urine has been shown to be a useful indicator of biotin status for a variety of clinical situations, including pregnancy. The work described herein prese...

Biotin–Protein Bond: Instability and Structural Modification to Provide Stability for In Vivo Applications
Biotinylation of proteins is a powerful tool for investigating biological phenomenon, both in vitro and in vivo. Biotinylating reagents that form covalent bonds with several types of amino acid residues are co...

Biotin transport and metabolism in the central nervous system
The mechanisms by which biotin enters and leaves brain, choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were investigated by injecting [3H]biotin either intravenously or intraventricularly into adult rabbits. [3H]bi...
