The fluid membrane determines mechanics of erythrocyte extracellular vesicles and is softened in hereditary spherocytosis
Red blood cell disorders are often accompanied by increased release of extracellular vesicles (EVs), but their structural and mechanical properties are not fully understood. Here, the authors show that red blood cell EVs show liposome-like mechanical features and are softened in blood disorder patie...
