Red blood cell partitioning and segregation through vascular bifurcations in a model of sickle cell disease

Abstract excerpt

direct physical interactions, particularly on the outer side of high-velocity branches, potentially contributing to the vascular damage and endothelial disruption observed in many disorders that affect RBCs. In geometrically asymmetric bifurcations, cells preferentially enter branches with larger radii, underscoring the influence of geometric complexity on microcirculatory blood flow. These findings provide...
