Development of vessel mimicking microfluidic device for studying mechano-response of endothelial cells
sheepshead bay boats Summary: The objective of this study is to develop a device to mimic a microfluidic system of human arterial blood vessels.The device combines fluid shear stress (FSS) and cyclic stretch (CS), which are resulting from blood flow and blood pressure, respectively.The device can reveal real-time observation of dynamic morphologica
