Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are seen to flicker under optical microscopy, a
phenomenon initially described as thermal fluctuations of the cell membrane. But recent …

In this paper we review recent numerical and theoretical developments of particle self-
assembly on fluid and elastic membranes and compare them to available experimental …

We review recent advances in multiscale modeling of the biomechanical characteristics of
red blood cells (RBCs) in hematological diseases, and their relevance to the structure and …

Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we systematically investigate the
receptor-mediated endocytosis of elastic nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes, ranging …

We study the biomechanical interactions between the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton in a
red blood cell (RBC) by developing a general framework for mesoscopic simulations. We …

The membrane of the red blood cell (RBC) consists of spectrin tetramers connected at actin
junctional complexes, forming a two-dimensional (2D) sixfold triangular network anchored to …

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is an effective Lagrangian method for modeling
complex fluids in the mesoscale regime but so far it has been limited to relatively simple …

We formulate a discrete Lagrangian model for a set of interacting grains, which is purely
elastic. The considered degrees of freedom for each grain include placement of barycenter …

Emerging clinical evidence suggests that thrombosis in the microvasculature of patients with
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) plays an essential role in dictating the disease …

Erythrophagocytosis occurring in the spleen is a critical process for removing senescent and
diseased red blood cells (RBCs) from the microcirculation. Although some progress has …
