A mechanistic model of cross-bridge migration in RBC aggregation and disaggregation
Red blood cells (RBCs) clump together under low flow conditions in a process called RBC aggregation, which can alter RBC perfusion in a microvascular network. As elevated RBC aggregation is commonly associated with cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, a better understanding of aggregation is es...
