Red blood cells (RBCs) are a specialised organ that enabled the evolution of multicellular
organisms by supplying a sufficient quantity of oxygen to cells that cannot obtain oxygen …

Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

The main obstacle in retrieving quantitative phase with high sensitivity is posed by the phase
noise due to mechanical vibrations and air fluctuations that typically affect any …

Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are seen to flicker under optical microscopy, a
phenomenon initially described as thermal fluctuations of the cell membrane. But recent …

The biconcave shape and corresponding deformability of the human red blood cell (RBC) is
an essential feature of its biological function. This feature of RBCs can be critically affected …

The past decade has seen substantial growth in research into how changes in the
biomechanical and biophysical properties of cells and subcellular structures influence, and …

Red blood cells (RBCs) have highly deformable viscoelastic membranes exhibiting complex
rheological response and rich hydrodynamic behavior governed by special elastic and …

Parasitization by malaria-inducing Plasmodium falciparum leads to structural, biochemical,
and mechanical modifications to the host red blood cells (RBCs). To study these …

Red blood cells (RBCs) possess a unique capacity for undergoing cellular deformation to
navigate across various human microcirculation vessels, enabling them to pass through …

Chemical and electrical interaction within and between the cells is well established and
studied. Just the opposite is truth about the cellular interactions via other physical fields. The …
