• Biomechanical properties of native and cultured red blood cells–Interplay of shape, structure and biomechanics 

      Bernecker, Claudia; Lima, Maria; Kolesnik, Tatjana; Lampl, Annika; Ciubotaru, Catalin; Leita, Riccardo; Kolb, Dagmar; Fröhlich, Eleonore; Schlenke, Peter; Holzapfel, Gerhard; Dorn, Isabel; Cojoc, Dan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Modern medicine increases the demand for safe blood products. Ex vivo cultured red blood cells (cRBC) are eagerly awaited as a standardized, safe source of RBC. Established culture models still lack the terminal cytoskeletal ...
    • Bond Graph Model of Cerebral Circulation: Toward Clinically Feasible Systemic Blood Flow Simulations 

      Safaei, Soroush; Blanco, Pablo Javier; Muller, Lucas Omar; Hellevik, Leif Rune; Hunter, Peter J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We propose a detailed CellML model of the human cerebral circulation that runs faster than real time on a desktop computer and is designed for use in clinical settings when the speed of response is important. A lumped ...
    • Cholesterol Deficiency Causes Impaired Osmotic Stability of Cultured Red Blood Cells 

      Bernecker, Claudia; Köfeler, Harald; Pabst, Georg; Trötzmüller, Martin; Kolb, Dagmar; Strohmayer, Karl; Trajanoski, Slave; Holzapfel, Gerhard; Schlenke, Peter; Dorn, Isabel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Ex vivo generation of red blood cells (cRBCs) is an attractive tool in basic research and for replacing blood components donated by volunteers. As a prerequisite for the survival of cRBCs during storage as well as in the ...
    • Prediction of guidewire-induced aortic deformations during EVAR: a finite element and in vitro study 

      Emendi, Monica; Støverud, Karen-Helene; Tangen, Geir Arne; Ulsaker, Håvard; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode; Di Giovanni, Pierluigi; Dahl, Sigrid Kaarstad; Langø, Thomas; Prot, Victorien Emile (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction and aims: During an Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) procedure a stiff guidewire is inserted from the iliac arteries. This induces significant deformations on the vasculature, thus, affecting the pre-operative ...
