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 …

Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) is one of the most valuable and widespread
treatments in modern medicine. Lifesaving RBC transfusions are facilitated by the cold …

Although both the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and optically measured erythrocyte
aggregation parameters are affected by the hematocrit, this interaction is not considered by …

Haemorheologically impaired microcirculation, such as blood clotting or abnormal blood
flow, causes interrupted blood flows in vascular networks. The biophysical properties of …
