Active Forces of Myosin Motors May Control Endovesiculation of Red Blood Cells

By using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we have shown that the active forces generated by (NMIIA) motor domains bound to F-actin may partially control the endovesiculation of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. The myosin generated active forces favor pancake-like (torocyte) RBC endovesicles with a la...
