Measurement of red blood cell mechanics during morphological changes

Measurement of red blood cell mechanics during morphological changes

The human red blood cell (RBC) membrane, a fluid lipid bilayer tethered to an elastic 2D spectrin network, provides the principal control of the cell's morphology and mechanics. These properties, in turn, influence the ability of RBCs to transport oxygen in circulation. Current mechanical measu...
