Squeezing for Life – Properties of Red Blood Cell Deformability [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Deformability is an essential feature of blood cells (RBCs) that enables them to travel through even the smallest capillaries of the human body. Deformability is a function of (i) structural elements of cytoskeletal proteins, (ii) processes controlling ...

Pathophysiological Associations and Measurement Techniques of Red Blood Cell Deformability [PDF]
BiosensorsRed blood cell (RBC), accounting for approximately 45% of total blood volume, are essential for oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal. Their unique biconcave morphology, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and remarkable deformability enable them to ...

Comparisons of Blood Parameters, Red Blood Cell Deformability and Circulating Nitric Oxide Between Males and Females Considering Hormonal Contraception: A Longitudinal Gender Study. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2018 Red blood cell (RBC) deformability is an important determinant of the microcirculation. It is influenced by various hematological parameters but also by nitric oxide (NO) which is produced in RBC from L-arginine by RBC-NO synthase.

A computational study of red blood cell deformability effect on hemodynamic alteration in capillary vessel networks. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Capillary blood vessels, the smallest vessels in the body, form an intricate network with constantly bifurcating, merging and winding vessels. Red blood cells (RBCs) must navigate through such complex microvascular networks in order to maintain tissue ...
