Endothelial shear stress is a tangential stress derived from the friction of the flowing blood on the endothelial surface of the arterial wall and is expressed in units of force/unit area (dyne/cm 2).

Endothelial cell responses to fluid shear stress from blood flow are crucial for vascular development, function, and disease. A complex of PECAM-1, VE-cadherin, VEGF receptors (VEGFRs), and Plexin D1 ...

Running a CPU stress test tool is a great way to break in a new processor, test an overclock, see how capable your cooling is, or just make sure your PC is running as well as it should.

Fluid shear stress triggers cholesterol biosynthesis independently of NPHP1 and NPHP4. To assess the effect of shear stress on the amount of intracellular cholesterol, we performed a staining with ...

The shear stress is in direct contact with VECs, while the hydrostatic stress causes compression and tension in valves and can be transmitted to VICs. Multiple mechanosensitive signaling pathways have ...

In physics, shear stress is a stress state in which the shape of a material tends to change (usually by "sliding" forces -- torque by transversely-acting forces) without particular volume change.

The mechanotransduction of shear stress in vascular endothelial cells is still not completely understood. We show a pathway of shear stress signal transduction mediated by plasma membrane ...

To quantify the shear stress that a body experiences, you only need to get the ratio of the shear force acting on the body and the whole surface area parallel to the shear force. In most cases, this ...

Wyart and Cates (W-C) have introduced a phenomenological model, in which the shear thickening arises from a transition from primarily hydrodynamic interactions when the applied stress is substantially ...
