Dynamic theory of leucocyte adhesion.

P D Richardson

    Ciba Foundation Symposium
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Physical principles, like transient diffusion theory, aid in interpreting leucocyte chemotaxis experiments. Understanding fluid dynamics is crucial for analyzing leucocyte adhesion in blood flow and estimating collision rates.
