A microfluidic deformability assessment of pathological red blood cells flowing in a hyperbolic converging microchannel

The loss of the red blood cells (RBCs) deformability is related with many human diseases, such as malaria, hereditary spherocytosis, sickle cell disease, or renal diseases. Hence, during the last years, a variety of technologies have been proposed to gain insights into the factors a ecting the RBCs...
