Extensional flow-based microfluidic device: deformability assessment of red blood cells in contact with tumor cells

Red blood cell (RBC) deformability has become one of the important factors to assess blood and cardiovascular diseases. The interest on blood studies have promoted a development of various microfluidic devices that treat and analyse blood cells. Recent years, besides the RBC deformability assessment...
