Role of small non-absorbing macromolecules in red blood cell adhesion.
Red blood cells (RBC) aggregation is a phenomenon whereby the red blood cells form aggregates when suspended in plasma or solutions containing large polymer. This aggregation process is reversible, whereby the aggregates can be dispersed by mechanical or fluid forces, however it may reform once the...
