Combinations of Hydrostatic Pressure and Shear Stress Time-dependently Decrease E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 Expression Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in Cultured Endothelial Cells
Endothelial cells (ECs) are constantly subjected to shear stress, a tangential stress generated by blood flow, and hydrostatic pressure, a normal stress generated by blood pressure. Using a perfusion system that enables the independent control of flow volume and pressure, we investigated the effect...
