Degradation of red blood cell deformability during cold storage in blood bags [PDF]
eJHaem, 2022 Red blood cells (RBCs) stored in blood bags develop a storage lesion that include structural, metabolic, and morphologic transformations resulting in a progressive loss of RBC deformability.

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 ...

Reduced Red Blood Cell Deformability in Vivax Malaria. [PDF]
J Infect DisAbstract Reduced deformability of both infected and uninfected red blood cells (RBCs) contributes to pathogenesis in Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Whole-blood RBC deformability (RBC-D) is not well characterized in Plasmodium vivax malaria.

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 ...

Data for assessing red blood cell deformability from microscopy images using deep learning [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Red blood cell (RBC) deformability is a vital biophysical property that dictates the ability of these cells to repeatedly squeeze through small capillaries in the microvasculature.

Measuring Asymmetric Ionic Current Waveform Through Micropores for Detecting Reduced Red Blood Cell Deformability Due to Plasmodium falciparum Infection [PDF]
SensorsThe mechanisms underlying reduced deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) in Plasmodium falciparum remain unclear. The decrease in RBC deformability associated with malarial infection was measured using ektacytometry, and only mean values were evaluated.
