The reversible process of RBC forming linear and 3D rouleaux

Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation is a reversible process where RBCs form stacks or clusters, known as rouleaux. These formations can be linear or 3D structures, resembling a pile of coins. This occurs due to interactions between plasma proteins and the cell surface. While normal in small amounts, excessive aggregation can lead to impaired blood flow and is linked to various health conditions, such as inflammation or cardiovascular issues.
