We present a numerical analysis of the lateral movement and equilibrium radial positions of
red blood cells (RBCs) with major diameter 8, the latter of which indicates the ratio of the …

We study the rheology of a two-fluid emulsion in semiconcentrated conditions; the solute is
Newtonian while the solvent is an inelastic power-law fluid. The problem at hand is tackled …

Blood is a vital soft matter, and its normal circulation in the human body relies on the
distribution of red blood cells (RBCs) at successive bifurcations. Understanding how RBCs …

Recent advances have made modeling human small intestines in vitro possible, but it
remains a challenge to recapitulate fully their structural and functional characteristics. We …

The development of the vascular system was a critical step in the evolution of species. It
allowed organisms to meet the growing metabolic demands and opened the door for the …

The rheology of a capsule suspension in two-dimensional confined Poiseuille flow is studied
numerically using an immersed-boundary lattice Boltzmann method. The effects of capsule …

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 …

ATP release by red blood cells (RBCs) under shear stress (SS) plays a pivotal role in
endothelial biochemical signaling cascades. The aim of this study is to investigate through …

Blood flow in sickle cell disease (SCD) can substantially differ from normal blood flow due to
significant alterations in the physical properties of the red blood cells (RBCs). Chronic …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are subjected to high viscous shear stress, especially during
microcirculation, resulting in stable deformed shapes such as parachute or slipper shape …
