    Impact of Bi-Axial Shear on Atherogenic Gene Expression by Endothelial Cells

    This study demonstrated the effects of the directionality of oscillatory wall shear stress (WSS) on proliferation and proatherogenic gene expression (I-CAM, E-Selectin, and IL-6) in the presence of inflammator...

    Peristalsis with Oscillating Flow Resistance: A Mechanism for Periarterial Clearance of Amyloid Beta from the Brain

    Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain and in the walls of cerebral arteries. The focus of this work is on clearance of Aβ along artery walls, the failure of which may...

    Evaluation of Mechanisms of Postflight Orthostatic Intolerance with a Simple Cardiovascular System Model

    A significant fraction of astronauts experience postflight orthostatic intolerance (POI) during 10-min stand tests conducted on landing day. The average time that nonfinishers can stand is about 7 min. This ph...
