Imaging of healthy and malaria-mimicked red blood cells in polydimethylsiloxane microchannels for determination of cells deformability and flow velocity

Imaging analysis techniques have been extensively used to obtain crucial information on blood phenomena in the microcirculation. In the present study, it is intended to mimic the effects of malaria on the red blood cells (RBCs), by changing their properties using a different concentration of glutara...
