Blood Cells, Rheology, and Aging

In the third Erlangen-Nuremberg symposium on experimental geronto­ logy we discussed the effect of aging on blood cells and rheology. Most studies with red cells have been performed on humans, rats, and rabbits. All these erythrocytes have no nucleus; the cells are therefore a model in which new syn...
