Eryptosis
Brainist:
'''Eryptosis''' (''Erythrocyte apoptosis'' or ''Red blood cell programmed death'') is a type of [[apoptosis]] that occurs in injured [[erythrocyte]]s (RBCs) due to various factors including [[hyperosmolarity]], [[oxidative stress]], energy depletion, [[heavy metals]] exposure or [[xenobiotics]]. Like apoptosis, eryptosis is characterized by cell shrinkage, [[cell membrane|membrane]] blebbing, activation of [[proteases]], and [[phosphatidylserine]] exposure at the outer membrane leaflet.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
