| Research Abstract |
This study aims to gain better understanding of flow-induced blood cell destruction on a man-made blood-contacting surface. Based on a previous study of modeling of fluid flow in artificial organs, a new hypothesis of red blood cell destruction was proposed, and verified in this study. This study for the first time succeeded in a single-cell real-time imaging of collision-induced hemolysis of high-speed-flowing cells. The data contribute to enhance the blood compatibility of man-made devices.
