1. Erythrocyte deformability is altered under various pathophysiological conditions. 2. Some deformability tests may be more physiologically-relevant than others for given applications. 3. The viscoelasticity of the blood is dominated by the deformability of the red blood cells. 4. The resulting origami battery achieves significant linear and areal deformability , large twistability and bendability. 5. Deformability of the erythrocytes that cause the microcirculatory distress can be demonstrated through various other hemorheological characteristics.6. Both pathways result in membrane loss, decreased surface area, and formation of spherocytes with decreased deformability . 7. Erythrocyte deformability is an important determinant of blood viscosity, hence blood flow resistance in the vascular system. 8. The influence of aggregation properties on the viscoelasticity diminish and the influence of red cell deformability begins to increase. 9. Sickle-cell disease is characterized by extensive impairment in erythrocyte deformability , being dependent on the oxygen partial pressure. 10. Moreover, some tests may track how deformability itself changes as conditions change and / or as deformation is repeated.
