| 11. | Types of hyperviscosity syndromes vary by pathology; including deformability of red blood cells, often evident in sickle cell anemia.
|
| 12. | It plays a key role in regulating membrane physical properties of mechanical stability and deformability by stabilizing spectrin-actin interaction.
|
| 13. | Erythrocytes / RBC may also be tested for related membrane properties aside from fragility, including erythrocyte deformability and cell morphology.
|
| 14. | With very low shear rates, the viscoelastic property of blood is dominated by the aggregation and cell deformability is relatively insignificant.
|
| 15. | Another beneficial consequence of strong bilayer deformability is the increased affinity of a " Transfersome " to bind and retain water.
|
| 16. | Erythrocyte deformability has also been demonstrated to be impaired in diabetes, peripheral vascular diseases, sepsis and a variety of other diseases.
|
| 17. | Because of the link between deformability and sickled cells, deformability can be used to evaluate the amount of sickled cells in the blood.
|
| 18. | Because of the link between deformability and sickled cells, deformability can be used to evaluate the amount of sickled cells in the blood.
|
| 19. | Thus for meaningful " apples-to-apples " comparisons involving cell deformability, it is important to utilize the same qualitative approach.
|
| 20. | "Ektacytometry " based on laser diffraction analysis is a commonly preferred ( and a fairly direct ) method for measuring deformability.
