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 distribution of red blood cells (RBCs) in the microcirculation determines the oxygen
delivery and solute transport to tissues. This process relies on the partitioning of RBCs at …

Predicting blood microflow in both simple and complex geometries is challenging because
of the composition and behavior of the blood at microscale. However, characterization of the …

Ca2+-permeable channels in red blood cells (RBCs) is a timely topic (Filser et al., 2020;
Wang et al., 2021). They are of particular importance because the intracellular Ca2+ seems …

Capillary blood vessels in the body partake in the exchange of gas and nutrients with
tissues. They are interconnected via multiple vascular junctions forming the microvascular …

(1) Background: When red blood cells are centrifuged in a continuous Percoll-based density
gradient, they form discrete bands. While this is a popular approach for red blood cell age …

A two-dimensional computer simulation of blood flow between two parallel plates as the
tube was performed to understand the distribution of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets …

It has been proven that the deformability of red blood cells (RBC) is reduced owing to
changes in mechanical properties, such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. To probe the …

Red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen and make up 40–45% of blood by volume in large
vessels down to 10% or less in smaller capillaries. Because of their finite size and large …

Red blood cell (RBC) morphology is always a fascinating Research Topic. Being the most
abundant cells in the organism that are easily collected, RBCs have been the object of …
