Red Blood Cell Distribution and Volume Changes at Capillary Junctions in the Living Human Retina
This study provides the first noninvasive in vivo characterization of RBC partitioning behavior at capillary junctions in the living human retina. The subtle fluid exchange between cells and plasma may play a role in optimizing oxygen delivery to support immediate metabolic needs.
