Microfluidic Microcirculation Mimetic as a Tool for the Study of Rheological Characteristics of Red Cells in Patients With Sickle Cell Anaemia

2022-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Sickle cell disorder (SCD) is a multisystem disease with heterogeneous phenotypes. Although all patients have the mutated haemoglobin (Hb) in the SS phenotype, the severity and frequency of complications are variable. When exposed to low oxygen tension, the Hb molecule becomes dense and, forms tactoids which, lead to the peculiar sickled shapes of the affected red blood cells, giving the disorder its name. This si...
