A computational model of a microfluidic device to measure the dynamics of oxygen-dependent ATP release from erythrocytes.
Erythrocytes are proposed to be involved in blood flow regulation through both shear- and oxygen-dependent mechanisms for the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a potent vasodilator. In a recent study, the dynamics of shear-dependent ATP release from erythrocytes was measured using a microflui...
