Margination of artificially stiffened red blood cells
Revaz D. Chachanidze, Othmane Aouane, Jens Harting +2
Margination, a fundamental process in which leukocytes migrate from the flowing blood to the vessel wall, is well-documented in physiology. However, it is still an open question on…

Influence of erythrocyte density on aggregability as a marker of cell age: Dissociation dynamics in extensional flow
M. Puthumana Melepattu, G. Maîtrejean, C. Wagner +1
Blood rheology and microcirculation are strongly influenced by red blood cell (RBC) aggregation. The aggregability of RBCs can vary significantly due to factors such as their mecha…

Competing aggregation and iso-density equilibrium lead to band pattern formation in density gradients
Felix Maurer, Camila Romero, Nikolas Lerch +4
Centrifugation of biological matter in density gradient solutions is a standard method for separating cell types or components. It is also used to separate red blood cells (RBCs) b…
