Role of small polymers in large polymers induced red blood cell adhesion

The adhesion of human red blood cells (RBC) to other cells and to surfaces has been of great interest because abnormal adhesiveness of RBC have been linked to the pathophysiology of various diseases associated with vascular disorders. This present study was undertaken to specifically study the effec...
