Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating tumor cells by How, Yunhan

“…MDA-231-C3 was circulated and recovered repeatedly to obtain a series of flow-selected breast cancer cell lines (231-S1 to 231-S6). The effect of fluid shear stress on CTC survival was studied by quantifying the cell viability and level of apoptosis at 0-hr, 12-hr and 24-hr time points of circulation. …”
