A microfluidic chamber-based approach to map the shear moduli of vascular cells and other soft materials
Abstract There is growing interest in quantifying vascular cell and tissue stiffness. Most measurement approaches, however, are incapable of assessing stiffness in the presence of physiological flows. We developed a microfluidic approach which allows measurement of shear modulus (G) during flow. The...
