abstract = {Sorting cells based on their intrinsic properties is a
highly desirable objective, since changes in cell
deformability are often associated with various stress
conditions and diseases. Deterministic lateral displacement
(DLD) devices offer high precision for rigid spherical
particles, while their success in sorting deformable
particles remains limited due to the complexity of cell
traversal in DLDs. We employ mesoscopic hydrodynamics
simulations and demonstrate prominent advantages of
sharp-edged DLD obstacles for probing deformability
properties of red blood cells (RBCs). By consecutive
sharpening of the pillar shape from circular to diamond to
triangular geometry, a pronounced cell bending around an
edge is achieved, serving as a deformability sensor. Bending
around the edge is the primary mechanism, which governs the
traversal of RBCs through such DLD device. This strategy
requires an appropriate degree of cell bending by fluid
stresses, which can be controlled by the flow rate, and
exhibits good sensitivity to moderate changes in cell
deformability. We expect that similar mechanisms should be
applicable for the development of novel DLD devices that
target intrinsic properties of many other cells.},
