Deformability is an essential feature of the red cell that allows it to move in the bloodstream and pass unharmed into the microcirculation through openings smaller than its usual dimensions ( 1) . Energy derived from its internal glycolysis is used to both retain and change its shape and in the performance of all its rheological functions during the 120 days of its existence. [...]
