Shape changes of erythrocytes during blood clot contraction and the structure of polyhedrocytes
Polyhedral erythrocytes, named polyhedrocytes, are formed in contracted blood clots and thrombi, as a result of compression by activated contractile platelets pulling on fibrin. This deformation was shown to be mechanical in nature and polyhedrocytes were characterized using light and electron micro...
