Early stage of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate test: Fracture of a high-volume-fraction gel
Thomas John, Lars Kaestner, Christian Wagner +1
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a clinical parameter used as a non-specific marker for inflammation, and recent studies have shown that it is linked to the collapse of the…
Cell-free layer development and spatial organization of healthy and rigid red blood cells in a microfluidic bifurcation
Yazdan Rashidi, Othmane Aouane, Alexis C. Darras +4
Bifurcations and branches in the microcirculation dramatically affect blood flow as they determine the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs). Such changes in vessel…
Cell-free layer of red blood cells in a constricted microfluidic channel under steady and time-dependent flow conditions
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Katharina Graessel, Yazdan Rashidi +4
Constricted blood vessels in the circulatory system can severely impact the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs) causing various physiological complications. In la…
Red blood cell shape transitions and dynamics in time-dependent capillary flows
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Katharina Graessel, Felix M. Maurer +3
The dynamics of single red blood cells (RBCs) determine microvascular blood flow by adapting their shape to the flow conditions in the narrow vessels. In this study, we explore the…
Erythrocyte sedimentation: Effect of aggregation energy on gel structure during collapse
Anil Kumar Dasanna, Alexis Darras, Thomas John +4
The erythrocyte (or red blood cell) sedimentation rate (ESR) is commonly interpreted as a measure of cell aggregation and as a biomarker of inflammation. It is well known that an i…
Erythrocyte sedimentation: Fracture and collapse of a high-volume-fraction soft-colloid gel
Alexis Darras, Anil Kumar Dasanna, Thomas John +4
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is one of the oldest medical diagnostic methods whose physical mechanisms remain debatable up to date. Using both light microscopy and mesoscale…
