Red Blood Cell Aggregation

Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, a normally occurring phenomenon and a major factor affecting blood rheology, is an important area of study within bioengineering. This volume is the first to comprehensively review the topic. It provides extensive coverage of the determinants and mechanisms of RBC aggregation. It also examines methods to measure and modify RBC aggregation and discusses comparative data in other mammals. Written by leading researchers, this is an invaluable resource for basic science, medical, and clinical researchers; graduate students; and clinicians interested in mammalian red blood cells.
