Shear modulation of intercellular contact area between two deformable cells colliding under flow

Shear rate has been shown to critically affect the kinetics and receptor specificity of cell–cell interactions. In this study, the collision process between two modeled cells interacting in a linear shear flow is numerically investigated. The two identical biological or artificial cells are modeled...
