15.5.5.1 Mechanical Interactions with Erythrocytes

Possible pathological mechanical interactions uniquely between medical nanorobots and erythrocytes may include nanorobotic-induced hemolysis (Section 15.5.5.1.1), unintentional modulation of red cell membrane fluctuations (Section 15.5.5.1.2), and the disruption of normal erythrocyte aggregation (Section 15.5.5.1.3).
