Amphiphile induced echinocyte-spheroechinocyte transformation of red blood cell shape

A possible physical explanation of the echinocyte -spheroechinocyte red blood cell (RBC) shape transformation induced by the intercalation of amphiphilic molecules into the outer layer of the RBC plasma membrane bilayer is given. The stable RBC shape is determined by the minimization of the membrane...
