Red blood cell (RBC) deformability is important for tissue perfusion and a key determinant of
blood rheology. Diseases such as diabetes, sickle cell anemia, and malaria, as well as …

Vessel bifurcation is a place where many diseases start, such as the atherosclerosis,
because the flow in this place is complex involving secondary flow and/or stagnation …

Blood microcirculation is essential to our bodies for the successful supply of nutrients, waste
removal, oxygen delivery, homeostasis, controlling temperature, wound healing, and active …

Nonproportional RBC distribution is an important characteristic in microvascular networks,
which can result in heterogeneity of oxygen supply that may cause ischemic death in severe …

Microfluidic chips have been widely used to probe the mechanical properties of cells, which
are recognized as a promising label-free biomarker for some diseases. In our previous work …

Introduction Distant spreading of primary lesions is modulated by the vascular dynamics of
circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their ability to establish metastatic niches. While the …

Abnormalities in biophysical properties of blood are often strong indicators of life threatening
infections. However, there is no existing device that integrates the sensing of blood …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) need to deform in order to pass through capillaries in human
vasculature with diameter smaller than that of the RBC. An altered RBC cell membrane …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between red blood cell
(RBC) aggregation and deformability and angiogenesis parameters in obese patients …

In the present study, the dynamics of a red blood cell (RBC) in a simple microchannel and in
a microchannel with obstacle is simulated using combined lattice Boltzmann-immersed …
