Sticky chain model for shear response of red blood cells

Research output: Journal article publication › Journal article › Academic research › peer-review

Abstract

A sticky chain model has been proposed to describe the unfolding of spectrin network under applied mechanical loads. With the model, the response of a red blood cell (RBC) under static and cyclic shear loading has been predicted, which agrees qualitatively with relevant experimental results.
