Red blood cell deformability in microconfined shear flow

, 2009
In this work, we report on a systematic fluidodynamic investigation of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions flowing in microcapillaries with diameters comparable to the cell size in vitro.

AI–Guided 4D Printing of Carnivorous Plants–Inspired Microneedles for Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided 4D‐printed microneedle platform inspired by carnivorous plants for wound healing. A thermo‐responsive shape memory polymer enables body temperature–triggered self‐coiling for autonomous wound closure.

Effects of malaria heme products on red blood cell deformability.

, 2007
In falciparum malaria, the deformability of the entire erythrocyte population is reduced in proportion to disease severity, and this compromises microcirculatory blood flow through vessels partially obstructed by cytoadherent parasitized erythrocytes ...

A Dual‐Bioresponsive and Programmable Microneedle Matrix as a Bioinspired Coupler for Orchestrating Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

Red Blood Cell Homeostasis: pharmacological interventions to explore biochemical, morphological and mechanical properties

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2016
During their passage through the circulation, red blood cells (RBCs) encounter severe physiological conditions consisting of mechanical stress, oxidative damage and fast changes in ionic and osmotic conditions.

Blood-mimicking fluid for biotechnological applications. Fluid dynamic behavior of red blood cells and droplets under confined shear flow

, 2009
In spite of the development of cardio-vascular prosthetic devices, prosthetic heart valves, pulsatile blood pumps, models of the circulatory system, and sophisticated studies of flow through the complex geometries of the circulation, an analog test fluid

Engineered Heparinized GQDS/HPEI–Polyamide Membrane for Bilirubin Removal via One Step Anti Coagulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A multifunctional heparinized polyamide membrane embedded with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (HPEI) is engineered for efficient bilirubin removal via a one‐step anticoagulation–adsorption process. The membrane demonstrates enhanced hemocompatibility, prolonged clotting times, and high bilirubin adsorption capacity ...

Shear stress-induced improvement of red blood cell deformability

, 2014
Classically, it is known that red blood cell (RBC) deformability is determined by the geometric and material properties of these cells. Experimental evidence accumulated during the last decade has introduced the concept of active regulation of RBC ...
