many physiological processes. Abnormal ATP level in blood vessel is known to be related to …

[HTML][HTML] In vitro investigations of red blood cell phase separation in a complex microchannel network

A Mantegazza, F Clavica, D Obrist - Biomicrofluidics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels.
Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging …

Emergent cell-free layer asymmetry and biased haematocrit partition in a biomimetic vascular network of successive bifurcations

Q Zhou, J Fidalgo, MO Bernabeu, MSN Oliveira… - Soft Matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
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 …

The cell-free layer in simulated microvascular networks

P Balogh, P Bagchi - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
In the microcirculation, a plasma layer forms near the vessel walls that is free of red blood
cells (RBCs). This region, often termed as the cell-free layer (CFL), plays important …

Spatiotemporal dynamics of dilute red blood cell suspensions in low-inertia microchannel flow

Q Zhou, J Fidalgo, L Calvi, MO Bernabeu, PR Hoskins… - Biophysical …, 2020 - cell.com
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 …

Antimargination of microparticles and platelets in the vicinity of branching vessels

C Bächer, A Kihm, L Schrack, L Kaestner… - Biophysical journal, 2018 - cell.com
We investigate the margination of microparticles/platelets in blood flow through complex
geometries typical for in vivo vessel networks: a vessel confluence and a bifurcation. Using …

Effect of in-plane and out-of-plane bifurcated microfluidic channels on the flow of aggregating red blood cells

A Gholivand, O Korculanin, K Dahlhoff, M Babaki… - Lab on a Chip, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
