Abstract: Neutrophils from five different individuals are isolated with a density separation technique. A total of 151 unactivated (passive) cells are rapidly aspirated at constant suction pressure and at ...

Abstract: The use of the resistive pulse technique for the measurement of microsphere and red cell transit times through single-pore “Nuclepore” membranes (with pore diameters of 3.5 to 7.0 μm and pore ...

Abstract: Studies of red blood cell deformation have shown that there are a number of membrane material properties that affect the deformation process. In this paper various types of deformation are ...

Abstract: Because of the small size of the human red blood cell, it is difficult to measure the elasticity of the cell membrane. Previous techniques of measuring membrane elasticity involve high stress ...

Abstract: The resistive pulse technique was used to study the influence of specific mechanical properties of the red cell on its ability to enter and flow through single capillary-sized pores with ...

Abstract: The flow of a highly viscous drop surrounded by an inviscid fluid inside a tapered tube is analyzed according to a Newtonian, liquid-drop model in which a variational method is used to ...
