Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In this study, we subjected vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) to acute and chronic high glucose conditions under physiologically relevant levels of cyclic strain and low wall shear forces to compare phenotypic modulation and thus conceptualize a dynamic-disease test model which captures cellular response more accurately in comparison with static cultures. METHODS: P2-P6 rat aortic smooth muscle...
