The utilizations of microfluidic chips for single RBC (red blood cell) studies have attracted
great interests in recent years to filter, trap, analyze, and release single erythrocytes for …

Blood scarcity is one of the main causes of healthcare disruptions worldwide, with blood
shortages occurring at an alarming rate. Over the last decades, blood substitutes have …

Capillary blood vessels, the smallest vessels in the body, form an intricate network with
constantly bifurcating, merging and winding vessels. Red blood cells (RBCs) must navigate …

The influence of red blood cell (RBC) deformability in whole blood on platelet margination is
investigated using confocal microscopy measurements of flowing human blood and cell …

Hematocrit, defined as the volume percentage of red blood cells in blood, is an important
indicator of human health status, which demonstrates the capability of blood to deliver …

ABSTRACT A continuum model for the transport of red blood cells (RBC) inside arteries and
capillaries of small diameters is proposed. The pressure and velocity fields are solved using …

A conventional invasive catheterization procedure is currently used to detect atherosclerotic
severity in coronary arteries. However, it is still challenging to measure multiple consecutive …

Constricted blood vessels in the circulatory system can severely impact the spatiotemporal
organization of red blood cells (RBCs) causing various physiological complications. In …
