Catch bonds in sickle cell disease: shear-enhanced adhesion of red blood cells to laminin

2022-11-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Could the phenomenon of catch bonding—force-strengthened cellular adhesion—play a role in sickle cell disease, where abnormal red blood cell (RBC) adhesion obstructs blood flow? Here we investigate the dynamics of sickle RBCs adhering to a surface functionalized with the protein laminin (a component of the extracellular matrix around blood vessels) under physiologically relevant micro-scale flow...
