Membrane Remodelling and Vesicle Formation During Ageing of Human Red Blood Cells

Background/Aims: A high surface-to-volume ratio and a spectrin membrane-skeleton (MS) confer to the mammalian red blood cells (RBCs) their characteristic deformability, mechanical strength and structural stability. During their 120 days of circulatory life in humans, RBCs decrease in size, while rem...
