… the deformability of RBCs, and reduced RBC deformability may in turn affect pathophysiology.
… used for measuring RBC deformability, as well as the determinants of RBC deformability. …

… of a similar suspension of rigidified RBCs. At physiological … deformability in blood flow. The
initial regime, where aggregation dominates, is itself related to the deformability of the RBCs, …

… RBCs in blood samples obtained from 24 subjects. We introduce a new parameter to assess
deformability of RBCs: the dynamic deformability … in response to fluid flow shear stress. Our …

… pensions of hardened RBC's and normal RBC's in an attempt to analyze the relation between
RBC deformability and suspension viscosity. Human and canine RBC's were washed with …

… and recent technical advances revolutionize the way we study RBCs and their roles in …
RBC deformability. For each technique, we seek to provide insights how these deformability …

… erythrocytes must be more deformable than the small ones (5). In the present study we have
examined erythrocyte deformability … showed considerable red cell deformability in low shear …

… Conclusions: Erythrocyte deformation in microvessels was essentially different from that in …
and the effect of erythrocyte deformability on the flow dynamics of erythrocytes in microvessels …

… of different RBC deformabilities and aggregation strengths on CFL structure and flow
resistance in microscopic blood flows. We also explored the process of RBC flow development …

… We are particularly interested in the deformation of a solitary red cell suspended in an
infinite shear flow along the x axis, varying along the y axis with shear rate k. Thus, the …

… As shown in this study, the consideration of heterogeneous RBC deformability may significantly
alter the bulk transport behavior of blood in the microcirculation where aggregation can …
