Red blood cells (RBCs) exhibit a unique deformability, which enables them to change shape
reversibly in response to an external force. The deformability of RBCs allows them to flow in …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are approximately 8 μm in diameter, but must repeatedly
deform through capillaries as small as 2 μm in order to deliver oxygen to all parts of the …

A pilot cross sectional study was conducted to investigate the role of red blood cells (RBC)
deformability in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without and with diabetic retinopathy (DR) …

Techniques, such as micropipette aspiration and optical tweezers, are widely used to
measure cell mechanical properties, but are generally labor-intensive and time-consuming …

The loss of the red blood cells (RBCs) deformability is related with many human diseases,
such as malaria, hereditary spherocytosis, sickle cell disease, or renal diseases. Hence …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by varying or persistent
hyperglycemia either due to insufficient production of insulin by pancreas or improper …

Background Diabetes is associated with low plasma vitamin C concentrations. Objectives
We investigated the contribution of dysregulated vitamin C renal physiology, its prevalence …

Rapid developments in the food applications of silver nanomaterials (Ag-NMs) have resulted
in concerns related to the risk of overexposure of human blood. We investigated the effect of …

It is well known that certain pathological conditions result in a decrease of red blood cells
(RBCs) deformability and subsequently can significantly alter the blood flow in …

The influence of red blood cell (RBC) deformability in whole blood on platelet margination is
investigated using confocal microscopy measurements of flowing human blood and cell …
