Erythrocyte aging links hypocalcemia to impaired flow dynamics and oxygen transport through volume dysregulation
Red blood cells (RBCs) maintain their corpuscular volume through mechanotransducive ion-mediated processes in response to circulatory shear stress. However, with age, RBCs accumulate oxidative damage and undergo alterations in protein function, glucose metabolism and ion transport, raising fundamental questions about how volume homeostasis is preserved under mechanical load. Here, we investigated…
