by quantitatively defining the morphology and activity of confluent cell monolayers in response to shear stress and vascular modulators. Confluent monolayers of human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) were subjected ...
measure a force per unit area.) Shear stress arises from the component of the applied force that acts in a direction parallel to the object’s cross-section, and normal stress arises from the perpendicular ...
, with deposited sediments protecting the bedrock from erosion. This process is known as the tools and cover effect [16]. Bottom shear stress is also a main driver of bedrock erosion. In both the models of [17 ...
spectrum of shear rates determined by the unique geometrical and morphological features of the human microvasculature, as well as by the local changes in the vascular dimensions upon cell–endothelium ...
blood to the intervillous space (IVS) in the first trimester, and result in a shear stress environment upstream of the plugs that promotes spiral artery remodelling. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Trophoblast ...
shear stress (not shear rate) is exceeded (Peters et al., 2016), is beyond the scope of this work, so we simply adopt the findings of Ness & Sun (2015), where a threshold particle fraction ...
affected by the excess shear stress , bed roughness, grain size and orientation, particle sorting and packing, and bed configuration (Julien, 2010). On an exclusively physical basis, low-level forces applied ...
Abstract Background Acute psychological stress can produce significant hemoconcentration as well as prothrombotic changes in blood, both of which may have potentially harmful effects ...
/(0.5×d) Scanning electron microscopy The morphology of MCC at different moisture contents, d-mannitol, the mixture and the coated powder particles were examined using a Stereoscan 90 scanning electron ...
, a three-dimensional meshwork of splenic cords and venous sinuses, which works like a blood filter that removes damaged and aged RBCs [2, 9, 10]. Before returning to the vascular beds , RBCs have to squeeze ...
