By using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we have shown that the active forces generated by (NMIIA) motor domains bound to F-actin may partially control the endovesiculation of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. The myosin generated active forces favor pancake-like (torocyte) RBC endovesicles with a large flat central membrane region and a bulby periphery. We suggest that the myosin generated active forces acting on the RBC membrane in the direction perpendicular to the membrane surface towards the interior of the RBC may influence also other RBC shape transformations and the stability of different types of RBC shapes and should be therefore considered in the future theoretical studies of the RBC vesiculation and shape transformations.
