Correlation of dynamic membrane fluctuations in red blood cells with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risks

Abstract The rheological and physiological properties of red blood cells (RBCs) are affected by many factors in the vascular environment. Among them, membrane fluctuations (MFs), particularly dynamic fluctuations in RBC cell membrane thickness (RBC-MFs), are likely to be altered by the level of glyc...
