Abstract:This work of applied mathematics with interfaces in bio-physics focuses on the shape identification and numerical modelisation of a single red blood cell shape. The purpose of this work is to provide a quantitative method for interpreting experimental observations of the red blood cell shape under microscopy. In this paper we give a new formulation based on classical theory of geometric shape minimization which assumes that the curvature energy with additional constraints controls the shape of the red blood ce… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
