Buys, A.V. (Antonia Vergina); Van Rooy, Mia-Jeanne; Soma, Prashilla; Van Papendorp, D.H. (Dirk Hermanus), 1949-; Lipinski, Boguslaw; Pretorius, Etheresia (BioMed Central, 2013-01-28)Red blood cells (RBCs) are highly deformable and possess a robust membrane that can withstand shear force. Previous research showed that in diabetic patients, there is a changed RBC ultrastructure, where these cells ...
