Quantifying the possible role of non-specific forces and cell deformability in the elimination of senescent red blood cells
Human erythrocytes have an in vivo live span of about 120 days during which they undergo several physicochemical changes including a greatly enhanced tendency to form aggregates and a decreased deformability. The aging of RBC has been of interest to basic science and clinical investigators for decad...
