Sensing red blood cell nano-mechanics: Toward a novel blood biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease

Red blood cells (RBCs) are characterized by a remarkable elasticity, which allows them to undergo very large deformation when passing through small vessels and capillaries. This extreme deformability is altered in various clinical conditions, suggesting that the analysis of red blood cell (RBC) mech...
