The utilizations of microfluidic chips for single RBC (red blood cell) studies have attracted
great interests in recent years to filter, trap, analyze, and release single erythrocytes for …

Hypoxia is caused by insufficient oxygen availability for the organism leading to reduced
oxygen delivery to tissues and cells. It has been regarded as a severe threat to human …

The fraction of red blood cells adopting a specific motion under low shear flow is a promising
inexpensive marker for monitoring the clinical status of patients with sickle cell disease. Its …

Blood flow in the microcirculatory system is crucially affected by intrinsic red blood cell
(RBC) properties, such as their deformability. In the smallest vessels of this network, RBCs …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are unique cells with the remarkable ability to deform, which
is crucial for their oxygen transport function, and which can be significantly altered under …

Blood viscosity is considered as a vital determinant of the efficiency of blood flow in blood-
vessel networks. The coflowing method is considered as a promising technique for …

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are complex, multifactorial disorders with significant
social and economic impact in today's society. NDDs are predicted to become the second …

Microcirculation is one of the basic functional processes where the main gas exchange
between red blood cells (RBCs) and surrounding tissues occurs. It is greatly influenced by …

Assessment of red blood cell (RBC) deformability as a biomarker requires expensive
equipment to induce and monitor deformation. In this study, we present a simple method for …

The elasticity of red blood cells (RBCs) plays a vital role in their efficient movement through
blood vessels, facilitating the transportation of oxygen within the bloodstream. However …
