Haematocrit and Shear Rate Modulate Local Cell-free Layer Thickness and Platelet Margination in Blood Flow Along a Sinusoidal Wall

Eleonora Pero, Giovanna Tomaiuolo, Stefano Guido +2

The geometry of blood vessels strongly affects hemostasis and thrombosis through red blood cell (RBC) dynamics and platelet margination. Growing platelet aggregates, in turn, resha…
