Red blood cell as an elastic probe : interaction with drugs and toxins
In this thesis we investigate the interaction between drugs and toxins with membranes using red blood cells (RBCs) as morphoelastic probes. Using fluctuation spectroscopy, we were able to probe the RBC mechanical response to a simulated diabetic environment and to investigate the effect of metformin...
