Abstract excerpt
Blood vessel narrowing and arterial occlusion are pathological hallmarks of atherosclerosis, which involves a complex interplay of perturbed hemodynamics, endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory cascade. Herein, we report a novel circular microfluidic stenosis model that recapitulates atherogenic flow-mediated endothelial dysfunction and blood-endothelial cell (EC) interactions in vitro. 2D and 3D stenosis...
