Investigation of red blood cell mechanical properties using AFM indentation and coarse-grained particle method

BACKGROUND: Red blood cells (RBCs) deform significantly and repeatedly when passing through narrow capillaries and delivering dioxygen throughout the body. Deformability of RBCs is a key characteristic, largely governed by the mechanical properties of the cell membrane. This study investigated RBC m...
