A multiscale red blood cell model with accurate mechanics, rheology, and dynamics.
Red blood cells (RBCs) have highly deformable viscoelastic membranes exhibiting complex rheological response and rich hydrodynamic behavior governed by special elastic and bending properties and by the external/internal fluid and membrane viscosities. We present a multiscale RBC model that is able to predict RBC mechanics, rheology, and dynamics in agreement with experiments. Based on an analyt...
متن کاملProbing red blood cell mechanics, rheology and dynamics with a two-component multi-scale model.
This study is partially motivated by the validation of a new two-component multi-scale cell model we developed recently that treats the lipid bilayer and the cytoskeleton as two distinct components. Here, the whole cell model is validated and compared against several available experiments that examine red blood cell (RBC) mechanics, rheology and dynamics. First, we investigated RBC deformabilit...
متن کاملAnesthetics and red blood cell rheology
There are many conditions where it is useful for anesthetists to have a knowledge of blood rheology.Blood rheology plays an important role in numerous clinical situations.Hemorheologic changes may significantly affect the induction and recovery times with anesthetic agents.But also, hemorheologic factors are directly or indirectly affected by many anesthetic agents or their metabolites.In this ...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Red Blood Cell Mechanics and Blood Flow in Malaria
Red blood cells (RBCs) infected by a Plasmodium parasite in malaria may lose their membrane deformability with a relative membrane stiffening more than ten-fold in comparison with healthy RBCs leading to potential capillary occlusions. Moreover, infected RBCs are able to adhere to other healthy and parasitized cells and to the vascular endothelium resulting in a substantial disruption of normal...
متن کاملMechanics of the red blood cell network
Changes in the microstruture of blood caused by the red blood cell aggregation phenomenon affect the mechanical properties of the fluid. This fact has been extensively investigated in the past and it has been verified that the formation of rouleaux (the characteristic coin-pile like structures) and aggregates at low shear rates affect the flow and as a consequence the viscosity of the fluid is ...
