Raman and autofluorescence spectrum dynamics along the HRG-induced differentiation pathway of MCF-7 cells.

abstract：:The rotation of human red blood cells (RBC) as they flow in the shear field established by a Coulter type orifice is modeled. This model, based on hydrodynamics of ellipsoid rotation in laminar creeping flow, is used to calculate the probability of the cells entering the orifice with a specific orientation. The electr...
