Altered Red blood cell deformability – A novel hypothesis for retinal microangiopathy in diabetic retinopathy

ConclusionImpaired RBC deformability measured by a microfluidic cross slot channel in DM patients with different grades of DR underscores the contribution of RBC rheological properties to the pathogenesis and progression of DM related microangiopathy.
