On the Equilibrium Shape of Erythrocytes
V.I. Marchenko, E.R. Podolyak
TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that Canham's model accurately predicts the biconcave shape of human erythrocytes, providing a quantitative understanding of their equilibrium form.
Contribution
It validates Canham's model as a precise quantitative description of erythrocyte shape.
Findings
Canham's model matches observed erythrocyte shapes
The model accurately predicts biconcavity
Quantitative agreement with biological data
Abstract
It is shown that the model proposed by Canham quantitatively describes the observed biconcave shape of human erythrocytes.
