Blood viscosity is an important determinant of local flow characteristics, which exhibits shear
thinning behavior: it decreases exponentially with increasing shear rates. Both hematocrit …

It has been long known that blood health heavily influences optimal physiological function.
Abnormalities affecting the physical properties of blood have been implicated in the …

Many factors in the surrounding environment have been reported to influence erythrocyte
deformability. It is likely that some influences represent reversible changes in erythrocyte …

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 …

Mean values of hematological parameters are currently used in the clinical laboratory
settings to characterize red blood cell properties. Those include red blood cell indices …

Tissue hypoxia occurs in various conditions such as myocardial or brain ischemia and
infarction, sepsis, and trauma, and induces cellular damage and tissue remodeling with …

Aging-related processes lead to significant metabolic and structural changes in red blood
cells (RBCs) and, as a result, to heterogeneity in cell populations. Using the Percoll linear …

In recent times, automated detection of diseases from pathological images leveraging
Machine Learning (ML) models has become fairly common, where the ML models learn …
