Despite decades of research related to hemolysis, the accuracy of prediction algorithms for
complex flows leaves much to be desired. Fundamental questions remain about how …

Cell membranes are vital to shield a cell's interior from the environment. At the same time
they determine to a large extent the cell's mechanical resistance to external forces. In recent …

An improved red blood cell (RBC) membrane model is developed based on the bilayer
coupling model (BCM) to accurately predict the complete sequence of stomatocyte-discocyte …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is currently used to design and improve the hydraulic
properties of biomedical devices, wherein the large scale blood circulation needs to be …

Targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents is very promising to develop new strategies

Hematologic disorders arising from infectious diseases, hereditary factors and
environmental influences can lead to, and can be influenced by, significant changes in the …

In this article, we describe the general features of red blood cell membranes and their effect
on blood flow and blood rheology. We first present a basic description of membranes and …

Blood is a non-homogeneous fluid that flows inside the human artery system and provides
the cells with nutrients. In this study the auto rotation effect of blood's microstructure on its …
