Microgels as Artificial Cells in Modeling the Flow of Neutrophils in the Pulmonary Microcirculation

In this study the role of passive mechanism for deformation of neutrophils, namely the effect of mechanical properties, was studied using microgels as model system. Both alginate-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) microgels and agarose microgels were synthesized in mi...
