Numerical-experimental observation of shape bistability of red blood cells flowing in a microchannel
Achim Guckenberger, Alexander Kihm, Thomas John +2
Red blood cells flowing through capillaries assume a wide variety of different shapes owing to their high deformability. Predicting the realized shapes is a complex field as they a…
3D tomography of cells in micro-channels
S. Quint, A. F. Christ, A. Guckenberger +4
We combine confocal imaging, microfluidics and image analysis to record 3D-images of cells in flow. This enables us to recover the full 3D representation of several hundred living…
A foam model highlights the differences of the macro- and microrheology of respiratory horse mucus
A. Gros, A. Torge, U. F. Schaefer +3
Native horse mucus is characterized with micro- and macrorheology and compared to hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) gel as a model. Both systems show comparable viscoelastic properties o…
In-phase and anti-phase flagellar synchronization by basal coupling
G. S. Klindt, C. Ruloff, C. Wagner +1
We present a theory of flagellar synchronization in the green alga Chlamydomonas, using full treatment of flagellar hydrodynamics. We find that two recently proposed synchronizatio…
The buckling instability of aggregating red blood cells
Daniel Flormann, Othmane Aouane, Lars Kaestner +4
Plasma proteins such as fibrinogen induce the aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) into rouleaux, which are responsible for the pronounced shear thinning behavior of blood, control…
