Deformation of an Encapsulated Leukemia HL60 Cell through Sudden Contractions of a Microfluidic Channel

Migration of an encapsulated leukemia HL60 cell through sudden contractions in a capillary tube is investigated. An HL60 cell is initially encapsulated in a viscoelastic shell fluid. As the cell-laden droplet moves through the sudden contraction, shear stresses are experienced around the cell. These...
