La Asamblea y la Aplicación de 'Shear Anillos': A Novel endotelial Modelo de Orbital, unidireccional y periódica flujo de fluido y la tensión de cizallamiento
Different levels and patterns of fluid shear are known to modulate endothelial gene expression, phenotype and susceptibility to disease. We discuss the assembly and use of 'shear rings': a model that produces unidirectional, periodic shear stress patterns. Shear rings are simple to assemble, economical and can produce high cell yields.
