Abstract
We report new insight into cell deformability in inertia-dominant and shear-dominant flows. As a first model, we show that the deformability of HL60 cells changes with flow regime, which shows that flow regime can be used to probe different aspects of a cell's internal structure. Additionally, we show the importance of flow regime when using deformability to distinguish between primary (SW480) and secondary (SW620) colorectal cancer cell lines.
