Human red blood cell behavior under homogeneous extensional flow in a hyperbolic-shaped microchannel

It is well known that certain pathological conditions result in a decrease of red blood cells (RBCs) deformability and subsequently can significantly alter the blood flow in microcirculation, which may block capillaries and cause ischemia in the tissues. Microfluidic systems able to obtain reliable...
