Partitioning of dense RBC suspensions in single microfluidic bifurcations: role of cell deformability and bifurcation angle
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) are a key determinant of human physiology and their behaviour becomes extremely heterogeneous as they navigate in narrow, bifurcating vessels in the microvasculature, affecting local haemodynamics. This is due to partitioning in bifurcations which is dependent on the...
