In the blood flow through microvessels, platelets show high concentrations near the vessel wall. This phenomenon is called margination of platelets and is closely associated with hemostasis and thrombosis. In the present study, we conducted in vitro...
Red blood cells flow near the axis in a small vessel, known as axial accumulation. This causes a region called the cell-free layer, which does not contain red blood cells near the wall. Then, small particles such as platelets come out to the cell-fre...
