Mechanosensation in human erythrocytes: NMR and microscopy studies

We/you will explore the mechanistic basis of the autonomous movement of the plasma membrane of red blood cells, so called membrane flickering. Also, the molecular processes that und more...

Link between ATP supply and consumption in the maintenance of the shape of the red blood cell in normal and disease states

The link between the main energy supply (ATP from glycolysis) and its consumption by the cytoskeleton will be studied by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, compute more...
