      abstract     = {Blood flow in the microvascular system presents a complex
                      interplay between the non- Newtonian properties of blood and
                      the intricate, tortuous architecture of microvessels. While
                      2D microfluidic systems have enabled detailed studies of red
                      blood cell dynamics, recentfindings by A. Gholivand et al.
                      [1] revealed critical differences in flow behavior between
                      inplane and out-of-plane branches of microfluidic
                      bifurcations. This emphasizes the need for 3D geometries to
                      accurately replicate physiological blood flow.Building on
                      this, we investigate red blood cell flow within non-planar
                      3D microfluidic networks, uniquely reconstructed from real
                      brain vasculature images and fabricated via selective
                      laser-induced etching. By testing various hematocrit levels
                      and aggregation factors, we aim to elucidate the influence
                      of blood composition on flow dynamics in the brain's complex
                      vasculature. These insights will deepen our understanding of
                      cerebral microcirculation, with potential implications for
                      conditions involving vascular abnormalities.},
