Abstract
A plurality of artificial red blood cell particles includes each particle of the plurality being substantially monodisperse and each particle having a largest common linear dimension of about 5 μm to about 10 μm. The particles can also have a modulus configured such that a particle of the plurality of particles can pass through a tube having an inner diameter of less than about 3 μm.
