… , and cell deformability (8). This review focuses on the role of the deformability of the red blood
cell (RBC) in … Deformability is a relatively general term that describes the ability of a body (…

… A function of blood flow is oxygen delivery; distribution and adequacy of flow are influenced
by viscosity, which in turn is influenced by erythrocyte deformability (ED). We will first very …
