Designing Microfluidic Devices to Sort Haematopoietic Stem Cells Based on Their Mechanical Properties

Aim. Few haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) injected systemically for therapeutic purposes actually reach sites of injury as the vast majority become entrapped within pulmonary capillaries. One promising approach to maintain circulating HSC numbers would be to separate subpopulations with smaller size...
