A numerical model of a red blood cell infected by Plasmodium falciparum malaria: coupling cell mechanics with ligand-receptor interactions
We developed a numerical model of the behavior of a red blood cell infected by Plasmodium falciparum malaria on a wall in shear flow. The fluid and solid mechanics of an infected red blood cell (Pf-IRBC) were coupled with the biochemical interaction of ligand-receptor bindings. We used the boundary...
