A fluid-structure interaction model to characterize bone cell stimulation in parallel-plate flow chamber systems.
Bone continuously adapts its internal structure to accommodate the functional demands of its mechanical environment and strain-induced flow of interstitial fluid is believed to be the primary mediator of mechanical stimuli to bone cells in vivo. In vitro investigations have shown that bone cells produce important biochemical signals in response to fluid flow applied using parallel-plate flow ch...
متن کاملMonitoring cell detachment by surfactants in a parallel plate flow chamber.
The efficacy of the surfactants SDS and CTAB in detaching P. fluorescens from glass surface was evaluated in a parallel plate flow chamber. This device enables "in situ" determinations of cells detachment following the application of surfactants under well controlled hydrodynamic conditions. The results showed that SDS was able to remove almost all adhering bacteria in a short period of time, w...
متن کاملAssessing Leukocyte-endothelial Interactions Under Flow Conditions in an Ex Vivo Autoperfused Microflow Chamber Assay
Leukocyte-endothelial interactions are early and critical events in acute and chronic inflammation and can, when dysregulated, mediate tissue injury leading to permanent pathological damage. Existing conventional assays allow the analysis of leukocyte adhesion molecules only after the extraction of leukocytes from the blood. This requires the blood to undergo several steps before peripheral blo...
متن کاملPPLATE: a computer program for analysis of parallel-plate flow chamber experimental data.
PPLATE is a computer program developed to analyze raw cell adhesion data obtained from the parallel-plate flow chamber. It is based on a mathematical model described elsewhere (Zhang and Neelamegham, 2002a). The objective of this software is to analyze raw data on cell rolling, firm-arrest and cell transmigration to determine four frequency and probability parameters, namely, primary capture fr...
متن کاملEvolution Semigroups in Supersonic Flow-Plate Interactions
We consider the well-posedness of a model for a flow-structure interaction. This model describes the dynamics of an elastic flexible plate with clamped boundary conditions immersed in a supersonic flow. A perturbed wave equation describes the flow potential. The plate’s out-of-plane displacement can be modeled by various nonlinear plate equations (including von Karman and Berger). Supersonic re...
