A microfluidic-based multi-shear device for investigating the effects of low fluid-induced stresses on osteoblasts.

A microfluidic-based multi-shear device for investigating the effects of low fluid-induced stresses on osteoblasts.

Interstitial fluid flow (IFF) within the extracellular matrix (ECM) produces low magnitude shear stresses on cells. Fluid flow-induced stress (FSS) plays an important role during tissue morphogenesis. To investigate the effect of low FSS generated by IFF on cells, we developed a microfluidic-based c...
