STUDIES OF SHEAR STRESS ON CELLS

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 内皮细胞的功能和形态受剪应力的调节。 在这个项目中，旋转的微粒将产生一个小的层流流场。不同类型的微粒将被测试以获得适合于产生局部高剪应力的旋转速度。荧光成像技术将用于监测细胞对压力的动态反应。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Function and morphology of endothelial cells are regulated by shear stress. In this project a small laminar flow field will be created by rotating microparticles. Different type of microparticles will be tested for achieving a rotation rate suitable for creating a locally high shear stress. Fluorescence imaging techniques will be used for monitoring the dynamic responses of the cells to stress.
