Dynamics of Red Blood Cells in 2d
Blood is essentially composed of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets suspended in a fluid (blood plasma). If it can be considered as a homogeneous fluid when circulating in vessels of large diameter, this approximation is no longer valid when it reaches vessels with diameter of an order of magnitude comparable to that of the cells it carries. In this case, the influence of the cell...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics of red blood cells in a sinusoidal flow.
We show that the motion of individual red blood cells in an oscillating moderate shear flow is described by a nonlinear system of three coupled oscillators. Our experiments reveal that the cell tank treads and tumbles either in a stable way with synchronized cell inclination, membrane rotation and hydrodynamic oscillations, or in an irregular way, very sensitively to initial conditions. By adap...
متن کاملHemoglobin dynamics in red blood cells: correlation to body temperature.
A transition in hemoglobin behavior at close to body temperature has been discovered recently by micropipette aspiration experiments on single red blood cells (RBCs) and circular dichroism spectroscopy on hemoglobin solutions. The transition temperature was directly correlated to the body temperatures of a variety of species. In an exploration of the molecular basis for the transition, we prese...
متن کاملHydrogen ion dynamics in human red blood cells.
Our understanding of pH regulation within red blood cells (RBCs) has been inferred mainly from indirect experiments rather than from in situ measurements of intracellular pH (pH(i)). The present work shows that carboxy-SNARF-1, a pH fluorophore, when used with confocal imaging or flow cytometry, reliably reports pH(i) in individual, human RBCs, provided intracellular fluorescence is calibrated ...
متن کاملDynamics of shear-induced ATP release from red blood cells.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a regulatory molecule for many cell functions, both for intracellular and, perhaps less well known, extracellular functions. An important example of the latter involves red blood cells (RBCs), which help regulate blood pressure by releasing ATP as a vasodilatory signaling molecule in response to the increased shear stress inside arterial constrictions. Although s...
