Red blood cells (RBCs) are cells in your blood that are primarily responsible for delivering oxygen to your body and removing carbon dioxide.
RBCs come up in various ways within ME/CFS research. There is evidence that their deformability (how they change shape to fit through small capillaries) is altered in ME/CFS, and they may play a role in impaired oxygen extraction (the body’s reduced ability to take oxygen from the blood and use it).
OMF’s Collaborative Center at Stanford University has published research on how RBCs move more slowly through capillaries in low oxygen conditions compared to healthy controls. Read the full paper in Blood RCI.
