AFM measurements and lipid rearrangements: evidence from red blood cell shape changes

Application of force to echinocytes during atomic force microscopy measurements was shown to be able to convert the cells to stable discocyte shapes. The echinocyte shape is associated with a relative excess of the area of the outer leaflet of the cell membrane; the AFM measurements are therefore as...
