Mechanism of endothelial cells' response to blood flow is crucial for clarification of the mechanism of occurrence and development of circulatory diseases and development of new treatment and prevention methods. In this research we proposed a new experimental methodology to investigate the endothelial cells' response to mechanical stimulation. The cells' response to the centrifugal force was compared with those to the conventionalflow force stimulation. The experimental results provide useful information on the location of shear stress sensing in endothelial cells.
