This research aims to develop a microfluidic device to assess red blood cell deformability and its implications in type 2 diabetes.
Developed an automated microfluidic platform for high-throughput assessment of RBC deformability.
Analyzed individual cell responses in controlled flow conditions.
Compared RBC deformability in healthy individuals and T2DM patients.
Used a diabetic mouse model for in vivo validation.
Significant reductions in RBC deformability observed in T2DM patients compared to healthy individuals.
In vivo results confirmed declining RBC deformability under chronic hyperglycemia.
The microfluidic approach offers a robust tool for characterizing RBC mechanical properties.
