The flow behavior of blood is strongly affected by red blood cell (RBC) properties, such as the viscosity ratio C between cytosol and suspending medium, which can significantly be altered in several pathologies (e.g. sickle‐cell disease, malaria). The main objective of this study is to understand the effect of C on macroscopic blood flow properties such as flow resistance in microvessels, and to link it to the deformation and dynamics of single RBCs.

细胞质黏度对红细胞悬液在微血管中流动行为的影响

血液的流动行为受到红细胞 (RBC) 特性的强烈影响，例如细胞质和悬浮介质之间的粘度比C，这在多种病理（例如镰状细胞病、疟疾）中可能会发生显着改变。本研究的主要目的是了解C对宏观血流特性（如微血管流动阻力）的影响，并将其与单个 RBC 的变形和动力学联系起来。
