Changes in blood cell deformability in Chorea-Acanthocytosis and effects of treatment with dasatinib or lithium
2021-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Misshaped red blood cells (RBCs), characterized by thorn-like protrusions known as acanthocytes, are a key diagnostic feature in Chorea-Acanthocytosis (ChAc), a rare neurodegenerative disorder. The altered RBC morphology likely influences their biomechanical properties which are crucial for the cells to pass the microvasculature. Here, we investigated blood cell deformability of 5 ChAc patients compared to healthy...
