  1. Sensing red blood cell nano-mechanics: Toward a novel blood biomarker for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2022-09-20 Biomarkers

    Red blood cells (RBCs) are characterized by a remarkable elasticity, which allows them to undergo very large deformation when passing through small vessels and capillaries.

  2. Spatial organization of protein aggregates on red blood cells as physical biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Science advances 2021-09-24 Biomarkers

    Quantifying physical differences of protein aggregates implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), in blood, could provide crucial information on disease stages.
