Thrombin flux and wall shear rate regulate fibrin fiber deposition state during polymerization under flow.
Thrombin is released as a soluble enzyme from the surface of platelets and tissue-factor-bearing cells to trigger fibrin polymerization during thrombosis under flow conditions. Although isotropic fibrin polymerization under static conditions involves protofibril extension and lateral aggregation leading to a gel, factors regulating fiber growth are poorly quantified under hemodynamic flow due t...
متن کاملBrownian motion in shear flow: direct observation of anomalous diffusion.
Brownian motion in a simple shear flow has been experimentally investigated by using a different method for observation and analysis. A number of polystyrene spheres dispersed in sheared water were tracked with a confocal scanning laser microscope, and the time dependences of their coordinates were obtained. Since in the usual mean-square displacement in the flow direction the contribution from...
متن کاملBiomechanics of single chondrocytes under direct shear.
Articular chondrocytes experience a variety of mechanical stimuli during daily activity. One such stimulus, direct shear, is known to affect chondrocyte homeostasis and induce catabolic or anabolic pathways. Understanding how single chondrocytes respond biomechanically and morphologically to various levels of applied shear is an important first step toward elucidating tissue level responses and...
متن کاملDirect observation of steady-state microtubule dynamics
Different types of unusual dynamic behavior have been reported for steady-state microtubules. While almost all earlier reports relied on kinetic measurements of bulk polymerization, we have directly visualized the steady-state addition of subunits to individual microtubules through the use of tubulin derivitized with biotin. Biotinylated tubulin was used both as an internal "seed" for polymeriz...
متن کاملDynamics of developable cones under shear.
We identify and study a persistent structure characteristic of the post-buckling regime of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to axial torsion. It consists of a pair of developable cones ( d cones) joined by an S-shaped ridge, having a size of the order of the radius of the cylinder. We study its formation by applying a concentrated load at the center of the shell, which creates an isolated pai...
