In vitro recapitulation of functional microvessels for the study of endothelial shear response, nitric oxide and [Ca2+]i.
Microfluidic technologies enable in vitro studies to closely simulate in vivo microvessel environment with complexity. Such method overcomes certain constrains of the statically cultured endothelial monolayers and enables the cells grow under physiological range of shear flow with geometry similar t...
