Erythrocyte stroma refers to the structural framework or matrix of red blood cells (erythrocytes) that supports their shape and function. While mature erythrocytes in mammals lack a nucleus and organelles, their stroma consists primarily of a network of proteins, including spectrin and actin, which maintain the cell's biconcave shape and flexibility. This stroma is crucial for the cell's ability to deform as it navigates through capillaries and facilitates the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
