Identification of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor as the Dominant Protector of Laminar Shear Medium from the Modified Shear Device in Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Induced Endothelial Dysfunction
Background and Aims: Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of cardiovascular diseases. The straight region of an artery is protected from atherosclerosis via its laminar blood flow and high shear stress. This study investigated the cytoprotective effects of a new laminar shear medium (LSM) derived f...
