Patient-specific modeling of individual sickle cell behavior under transient hypoxia
13 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a highly complex genetic blood disorder in which red blood cells (RBC) exhibit heterogeneous morphology changes and decreased deformability.We employ a kinetic model for cell morphological sickling that invokes parameters derived from patient-specific data.This model is used to investigate the dynamics of individual sickle cells in a capillary-like microenvironment in order to address...
