Neutrophil Transit Times through Pulmonary Capillaries: The Effects of Capillary Geometry and fMLP-Stimulation

The deformations of neutrophils as they pass through the pulmonary microcirculation affect their transit time, their tendency to contact and interact with the endothelial surface, and potentially their degree of activation. Here we model the cell as a viscoelastic Maxwell material bounded by constan...
