| Abstract | Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction has been linked to atherosclerosis through their response to hemodynamic forces. Flow in stenotic vessels creates complex spatial gradients in wall shear stress. In vitro studies examining the effect of shear stress on endothelial cells have used unrealistic and simplified models, which cannot reproduce physiological conditions. The objective of this study was to expose endothelial cells to the complex shear shear pattern created by an asymmetric stenosis. Endothelial cells were grown and exposed for different times to physiological steady flow in straight dynamic controls and in idealized asymmetric stenosis models. Cells subjected to 1D flow aligned with flow direction and had a spindle-like shape when compared to static controls. Endothelial cell morphology was noticeable different in the regions with a spatial gradient in wall shear stress, being more randomly oriented and of cobblestone shape. This occurred despite the presence of an increased magnitude in shear stress. No other study to date has described this morphology in the presence of a positive wall shear stress gradient or gradient of significant shear magnitude. This technique provides a more realistic model to study endothelial cell response to spatial and temporal shear stress gradients that are present in vivo and is an important advancement towards a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in coronary artery disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
