An investigation on platelet transport during thrombus formation at micro-scale stenosis.

An investigation on platelet transport during thrombus formation at micro-scale stenosis.

This paper reports on an investigation of mass transport of blood cells at micro-scale stenosis where local strain-rate micro-gradients trigger platelet aggregation. Using a microfluidic flow focusing platform we investigate the blood flow streams that principally contribute to platelet aggregation...
