Fecha de publicación: 2023
Objetivos: The main objective of the project is to determine a quantifiable relation between the biomechanical properties (membrane elasticity, deformation and aggregation) of red blood cells and blood viscosity using microfluidic chips that mimic human physiological and human blood flow conditions.

Notas: Under the hypothesis that the biomechanical properties of red blood cells: elasticity, deformability and aggregation, are parameters that affect the rheological properties of blood, we propose to develop an alternative analysis and diagnostic method for some hematological and inflammatory diseases u
