In vivo splenic clearance correlates with In vitro deformability of red blood cells from plasmodium yoelii-infected mice
Recent experimental and clinical studies suggest a crucial role of mechanical splenic filtration in the host's defense against malaria parasites. Subtle changes in red blood cell (RBC) deformability, caused by infection or drug treatment, could influence the pathophysiological outcome. However,...
