Can morphological changes of erythrocytes be driven by hemoglobin?

Can morphological changes of erythrocytes be driven by hemoglobin?

At 49 C erythrocytes undergo morphological changes due to an internal force, but the origin of the force that drives changes is not clear. Here we point out that our recent experiments on thermally induced force-release in hemoglobin can provide an explanation for the morphological changes of erythr...
