β-Dispersion of blood during sedimentation

Abstract Aggregation of human red blood cells (RBC) is central to various pathological conditions from bacterial infections to cancer. When left at low shear conditions or at hemostasis, RBCs form aggregates, which resemble stacks of coins, known as ‘rouleaux’. We experimentally examined the interfa...
