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