Shear flow dynamics in blood rheology is a critical area of research that investigates how varying flow stresses affect the deformation, aggregation, and distribution of blood cells. At its core, this ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2022 – Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...
