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 …

The physics of blood flow in small vessel networks is dominated by the interactions between
Red Blood Cells (RBCs), plasma and blood vessel walls. The resulting couplings between …

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 …

Bifurcations and branches in the microcirculation dramatically affect blood flow as they
determine the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs). Such changes in …

Unsteady and pulsatile flows receive increasing attention due to their potential to enhance
various microscale processes. Further, they possess significant relevance for microfluidic …

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

The heterogeneous model developed by Berod et al [Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng 38,
2021] for representing the hemodynamic effects of endovascular prostheses is applied to a …

Microfluidic technologies are commonly used for the manipulation of red blood cell (RBC)
suspensions and analyses of flow-mediated biomechanics. To enhance the performance of …

Constrictions in blood vessels and microfluidic devices can dramatically change the spatial
distribution of passing cells or particles and are commonly used in biomedical cell sorting …

Three-dimensional simulations of the ordering of elastic capsule suspensions within planar
Poiseuille flow channels are reported. The simulations utilize the immersed boundary …
