Impact of Stochastic Fluctuations in the Cell Free Layer on Nitric Oxide Bioavailability

The plasma stratum (cell free layer or CFL) generated by flowing blood interposed between the red blood cell (RBC) core and the endothelium affects the generation, consumption and transport of nitric oxide (NO) in the microcirculation. CFL width is a principal factor modulating NO diffusion and ves...
