Abstract
The phenomenon of stochastic low-frequency oscillations of erythrocyte cell membrane, termed usually the flicker of erythrocytes, is reviewed. The first part [Biol. Membrany (Rus.), 2009, vol. 26, no. 5, pp. 352–369] describes theoretical models of erythrocyte flickering and the registration techniques. In the second part presented below the main experimental results are reviewed, the problem of identification of acting mechanisms of flicker excitation is analyzed, and flicker interrelations are considered with the membrane functioning as well as with the dynamics of proteins embedded in the membrane. The possibilities and the prospects of medical diagnostics applications of flicker of erythrocytes are discussed briefly.
