Model of microcirculation: effect of cell interactions on blood flow

人体微循环是血液与组织之间的主要交换部位，由许多直径小于50微米的血管组成。微循环知识对于了解多种病理和测试治疗方案是必不可少的。血液在微循环中的行为非常复杂，因为它不能被视为液体，而是相互作用的粒子的集合。红细胞在微血管中的循环和相互作用引起了人们的极大兴趣。此外，红血球可能会对血液行为产生不利影响，因此，如果红血球过于丰富、变形能力较弱或倾向于异常聚集，就会影响血液流动。

Microcirculation in the human body, which is composed of numerous vessels with diameters less than 50 micrometers, is the main exchange site between blood and tissues. Knowledge of microcirculation is essential to understanding numerous pathologies and testing therapeutic solutions. The behaviour of blood in microcirculation is very complex because it cannot be considered as a liquid, but rather as a collection of interacting particles. Red blood cell circulation and interaction in micro-vessels is of great interest. Moreover, red blood cells may adversely affect blood behaviour, and as a consequence, blood flow if they are too abundant, less deformable or if they tend to aggregate abnormally.
