Abstract: Ektacytometry has been the primary method for evaluating deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) in both research and clinical settings. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the flow of RBCs through a… read more here.

Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the production of an abnormal hemoglobin (Hb), which, under deoxygenation, may polymerize and cause a mechanical distortion of red blood cell (RBC) into a crescent-like… read more here.
