In this work, we compared the dynamics of motion in a linear shear flow of individual red
blood cells (RBCs) from healthy and pathological donors (Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or …

At the cellular scale, blood fluidity and mass transport depend on the dynamics of red blood
cells in blood flow, specifically on their deformation and orientation. These dynamics are …

A recent study of red blood cells (RBCs) in shear flow [Lanotte et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
USA 113, 13289 (2016) PNASA6 0027-8424 10.1073/pnas. 1608074113] has …

The viscoelastic properties of red blood cells (RBC) facilitate flexible shape change in
response to extrinsic forces. Their viscoelasticity is intrinsically linked to physical properties …

An open question that has persisted for decades is whether the cytoskeleton of a red blood
cell is stress-free or under a stress. This question is important in the context of theoretical …

There is a number of publications on red blood cell deformability, that is, on the remarkable
cell ability to change its shape in response to an external force and to pass through the …

Red blood cells (RBCs) possess a unique capacity for undergoing cellular deformation to
navigate across various human microcirculation vessels, enabling them to pass through …

A common indicator of rheological dysfunction is a measurable decrease in the deformability
of red blood cells (RBCs). Decreased RBC deformability is associated with cellular stress or …

Blood viscosity decreases with shear stress, a property essential for an efficient perfusion of
the vascular tree. Shear thinning is intimately related to the dynamics and mutual …

An exhaustive description of the dynamics under shear flow of a large number of red blood
cells in a dilute regime is proposed, which highlights and takes into account the dispersion …
