A flow apparatus has been developed for the study of the metabolic response of anchorage-dependent cells to a wide range of steady and pulsatile shear stresses under well-controlled conditions. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers were subjected to steady shear stresses of up to 24 dynes/cm(2), and the production of prostacyclin was determined. The onset of flow led to a burst in pr...
BACKGROUND Arteriogenesis is initiated by increased shear stress and is thought to continue until shear stress is returned to its original "set point." However, the molecular mechanism(s) through which shear stress set point is established by endothelial cells (ECs) are largely unstudied. Here, we tested the hypothesis that DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-dependent EC DNA methylation affects ar...
This paper presents our initial work in performing large-eddy simulations of tidal turbine array flows. First, a horizontally periodic precursor simulation is performed to create turbulent flow data. Then those data are used as inflow into a tidal turbine array two rows deep and infinitely wide. The turbines are modelled using rotating actuator lines, and the finite-volume method is used to sol...
We have recently described patterns of adhesion of different types of leukocytes downstream of a backward facing step. Here the predicted fluid dynamics in channels incorporating backward facing steps are described, and related to the measured velocities of flowing cells, patterns of attachment and characteristics of rolling adhesion for neutrophils perfused over P-selectin. Deeper (upstream de...
BACKGROUND Although disturbed flow is thought to play a central role in the development of advanced coronary atherosclerotic plaques, no causal relationship has been established. We evaluated whether inducing disturbed flow would cause the development of advanced coronary plaques, including thin cap fibroatheroma. METHODS AND RESULTS D374Y-PCSK9 hypercholesterolemic minipigs (n=5) were instru...
Structural changes of complex fluids under steady shear flow were investigated for different type of materials, such as suspensions, associating polymers and polymer solutions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Under specific conditions, depending on the material, a shear-thickening regime is observed followed by shear-thinning behaviour [3, 4, 6]. Shear-thickening is often the result of shear-induced formati...
Shear stress activates cellular signaling involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration. However, the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation under interstitial flow are not fully understood. Here, we show the increased osteogenic differentiation of MSCs under exposure to constant, extremely low shear stress created by osmotic pressure-induced flow in a mi...
In vitro investigations of the responses of vascular endothelium to fluid shear stress have typically been conducted under conditions where the time-mean shear stress is uniform. In contrast, the in vitro experiments reported here have re-created the large gradients in surface fluid shear stress found near arterial branches in vivo; specifically, we have produced a disturbed-flow region that in...
Abstract. First rheological investigation results of weakly wet granular media are presented. The materials have been examined experimentally and numerically in welldefined shear configurations in steady state, in the intermediate flow regime. For the experiments, a Searl-type ring shear cell with rotating inner cylinder and fixed outer cylinder is used. In the numerical particle simulation app...
Vasoactive drugs are known to affect impedance (pressure/flow) and vessel wall motion in arteries. The nonlinear theory of oscillatory flow in straight elastic vessels indicates that wall shear rate is affected by changes in impedance phase angle and wall motion. To test whether wall shear rate depends on impedance phase angle and wall motion in vivo, wall shear rate was measured in the abdomin...
