Evolution of surface area and membrane shear modulus of matured human red blood cells during mechanical fatigue

Abstract Mechanical properties of red blood cells (RBCs) change during their senescence which supports numerous physiological or pathological processes in circulatory systems by providing crucial cellular mechanical environments of hemodynamics. However, quantitative studies on the aging and variati...
