Single-cell evaluation of red blood cell bio-mechanical and nano-structural alterations upon chemically induced oxidative stress

Erythroid cells, specifically red blood cells (RBCs), are constantly exposed to highly reactive radicals during cellular gaseous exchange. Such exposure often exceeds the cells' innate anti-oxidant defense systems, leading to progressive damage and eventual senescence. One of the contributing f...
