Abstract excerpt
Biomechanical forces generated by blood flow play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. For example, regions exposed to non-uniform shear stresses develop early atherosclerotic lesions while areas exposed to uniform shear stresses are protected. A variety of in vitro flow app...
