We describe the similarities and the specificities of the behaviour of individual soft particles, namely, drops, lipid vesicles and red blood cells subjected to a shear flow..

A simple model to understand the effect of membrane shear elasticity and stress-free shape on the motion of red blood cells in shear flow. Full dynamics of e red blood cell in

A model based on a fluid ellipsoid surrounded by a viscoelastic membrane initially unstrained (shape memory) predicts all observed features of the motion: an increase of both

designed and implemented the two-dimensional blood flow model with fully resolved red blood cells and platelets, did the simulation of the diffusion of platelets in shear flow of

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUV) are an approximate, accessible and reproducible imitation of certain aspects of biomembranes, (such as the typical size, the structure, possibility

The regime of motion of the vesicles is either tanktreading/swinging (TT) or tumbling (T).. a-c) Schematics of RBCs successively undergoing tumbling, rolling and

[68] on boundary integral equation based simulations of red blood cells in shear flow, presenting a spherical harmonic discretization of mem- branes with bending and shear

In Chapter 2 we present the details of the numerical methods that are used in subsequent chapters to investigate the dynamics of vesicles and red blood cells in tube

Towards Mechanical Clinical Markers in Sickle Cell Disease: Dynamics of Red Blood Cells in Low Shear Flow.. Catherine Badens 1 , Scott Atwell 2 , Alexander Hornung 2 , Imane

A striking example is the red blood cells (RBCs) in the shear flow : tumbling, swinging oscillations of the shapes.. Other non-linear phenomena, for example buckling, are observed

Titre du sujet 3 : Multi-level blood flow simulation strategies accounting effects of red blood cells, White blood cells, clots and platelets and wall interactions.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by infected red blood cells (iRBCs), as well as other host cells, are important regulators of the balance that determines the disease outcome..

However, the large percentage of small RNAs with potential gene regulatory function suggests they might be involved in cellular communication.. The recent discovery of pathogen

After the study of the behavior of a dilute suspension, the analysis moved towards more complex situations: we considered a suspension of vesicles in a flow with a nonlinear

1, FluoroBrite DMEM; 2, (RBC) red blood cells; 3, supplemented with 0.5% exosome-free FBS; 4, extracellular vesicles were used immediately after isolation; 5,

By adapting our model described in ref [2], we determine the theoretical diagram for the red cell motion in a sinusoidal flow close to physiological shear stresses and flow

Moreover, the spatial variations of the concen- tration of RBCs within the vessel (Fåhræus-Lindqvist effect [ Fåhræus and Lindqvist, 1931 ]) are expected to lead to a spatial
