Microfluidic device for rapid investigation of the deformability of leukocytes in whole blood samples
Abstract The mechanical properties of cells, such as leukocytes, in a diseased state differ from those of healthy cells, typically due to their microstructure. The deformability of the cells through a constrictive area is analyzed by the applied stress to the cell. This study investigates the relati...
