Probing the effects of ionizing radiation on young's modulus of human erythrocytes cytoskeleton using atomic force microscopy

Purpose/Aim: In this work, we examined the possible effects of ionizing radiation (IR) on biomechanical properties of the membrane–cytoskeleton of human erythrocytes, after X-ray irradiation. Materials and Methods: Whole human blood from three healthy middle-aged volunteers was drawn by venipuncture...
