Squeezing for Life – Properties of Red Blood Cell Deformability

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Deformability is an essential feature of blood cells (RBCs) that enables them to travel through even the smallest capillaries of the human body. Deformability is a function of (i) structural elements of cytoskeletal proteins, (ii) processes controlling ...

Aging in Normotensive and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Focus on Erythrocyte Properties

Biology, 2023
Erythrocyte deformability, crucial for oxygen delivery to tissues, plays an important role in the etiology of various diseases. As the factor maintaining the erythrocyte deformability, nitric oxide (NO) has been identified.

A preliminary study of phosphodiesterases and adenylyl cyclase signaling pathway on red blood cell deformability of sickle cell patients

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by chronic anemia, intravascular hemolysis, and the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crises due to the mechanical obstruction of the microcirculation by poorly deformable red blood ...

Deformability-Based Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells in Spiral Microchannels

Micromachines, 2023
The isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their analysis are crucial for the preliminary identification of invasive cancer. One of the effective properties that can be utilized to isolate CTCs is their deformability.

Changes of Inertial Focusing Position in a Triangular Channel Depending on Droplet Deformability and Size

Micromachines, 2020
Studies on cell separation with inertial microfluidics are often carried out with solid particles initially. When this condition is applied for actual cell separations, the efficiency typically becomes lower because of the polydispersity and ...

q-Deformed and c-Deformed Harmonic Oscillators [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical Physics, 2003
Summary: Hamilton functions of classical deformed oscillators (\(c\)-deformed oscillators) are derived from Hamiltonians of \(q\)-deformed oscillators of the Macfarlane and Dubna types. A new scale parameter, \(l_q\), with the dimension of length, is introduced to relate a dimensionless parameter characterizing the deformation with the natural length ...

On the Effects of Reactive Oxygen Species and Nitric Oxide on Red Blood Cell Deformability

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The main function of red blood cells (RBCs) is the transport of respiratory gases along the vascular tree. To fulfill their task, RBCs are able to elastically deform in response to mechanical forces and, pass through the narrow vessels of the ...

Quantifying Deformation and Migration Properties of U87 Glioma Cells Using Dielectrophoretic Forces

Biosensors, 2022
Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most aggressive malignant primary brain tumors. To design effective treatment strategies, we need to better understand the behavior of glioma cells while maintaining their genetic and phenotypic stability.

P5 ERYTHROCYTE DEFORMABILITY AND NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION IN ANIMAL MODEL OF PRIMARY HYPERTENSION AND THEIR AGE-DEPENDENT CHANGES

Artery Research, 2017
Objectives: Reduced deformability of red blood cells (RBC) plays an important role in etiology of various diseases including cardiovascular. The nitric oxide (NO) was identified as one of factors responsible for maintenance of RBC deformability.
