Changes in red blood cell membrane structure in type 2 diabetes: a scanning electron and atomic force microscopy study

Red blood cells (RBCs) are highly deformable and possess a robust membrane that can withstand shear force. Previous research showed that in diabetic patients, there is a changed RBC ultrastructure, where these cells are elongated and twist around spontaneously formed fibrin fibers. These changes may...
