The impact of red blood cell surface properties on the functioning of the vascular system
The long-term goal of this study is to understand cellular factors affecting red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and RBC adhesion to endothelial cells as well as the significance of such factors in diseases associated with vascular complications. Past works dealing with abnormal RBC aggregation and adh...
