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…
Lingering Dynamics in Microvascular Blood Flow
A. Kihm, S. Quint, M. W. Laschke +4
The microvascular networks in the body of vertebrates consist of the smallest vessels such as arterioles, capillaries, and venules. The flow of RBCs through these networks ensures…
Vortical flow structures induced by red blood cells in capillaries
François Yaya, Johannes Römer, Achim Guckenberger +4
Knowledge about the flow field of the plasma around the red blood cells in capillary flow is important for a physical understanding of blood flow and the transport of micro- and na…
