An on-chip deformability checker demonstrates that the severity of iron deficiency is associated with increased deformability of red blood cells

Abstract The deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) is essential for peripheral circulation and RBC survival and is reportedly altered in several diseases. However, its detail in iron-deficiency (ID) anemia remains poorly understood. We investigated the association between ID and RBC deformability...
