  • Aggregation of red blood cells : from rouleaux to clot formation = Agrégation des globules rouges : de la formation des rouleaux à celle des caillots
    Wagner, Christian, fizik ; Steffen, Patrick ; Svetina, Saša, 1935-
    Red blood cells are known to form aggregates in the form of rouleaux. This aggregation process is believed to be reversible, but there is still no full understanding on the adhesion mechanism. There ... are at least two competing models, based either on bridging or on depletion. We review recent experimental results on the single cell level and theoretical analyses of the depletion model and of the influence of the cell shape on the adhesion strength. Another important aggregation mechanism is caused by activation of platelets. This leads to clot formation which is life-saving in the case of wound healing, but also a major cause of death in the case of a thrombus induced stroke. We review historical and recent results on the participation of red blood cells in clot formation.
