(a) Successive tether extrusion dynamics from the same ATP-depleted RBC at a flow velocity 900 μm/s. Resistance to tether extrusion is progressively lost, as characterized by the increase of Lt from one cycle to the next one. (b) Retraction dynamics of a tether from the same ATP-depleted RBC. Retraction slows down before complete reincorporation of the tether. In rare cases, additional waiting allows the tether to be reincorporated very slowly in the cell body.
