The 'Shear Stress' Of It Impacts Heart Disease Date: February 18, 2007 Source: Journal of Clinical Investigation Summary: Dutch researchers report that in mice, different types of shear stress ...

American Heart Association type IV plaques consist of a lipid core covered by a fibrous cap, and develop at locations of eccentric low shear stress. Vascular remodeling initially preserves the ...

Short Beam Shear is an excellent materials screening and quality control test, particularly if a unidirectional composite can be tested. Though this method obtains neither a pure nor uniform shear ...

Panel B shows that fluid shear stress (shown in a cross section of a blood vessel) is normal upstream of the stenosis (10 to 20 dyn•cm −2), increasing to pathologically high stress (>100 dyn ...

They were also able to identify the specific type of ion channel that is found in nociceptors and is activated by shear stress, called transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1).

A major contributor to shear stress is the type of pump used for transferring fluids such as media, nutrients or cell suspensions. In this context, peristaltic pumps have emerged as the preferred ...

Because the average shear stress is used in the shear modulus calculation, the average shear strain between the notch tips, γ ave, also must be used to obtain the correct shear modulus. When ...
