In this doctoral dissertation, low magnitude mechanical signals (LMMS,< 1g in magnitude)
were used to test the stress shielding model hypothesized on breast cancer cells. The …

Endothelial cell culture under flow, to mimic physiological conditions within blood vessels,
has gained particular attention for the formation of a homogeneous endothelium in vitro …

Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped, negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus that causes
severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. The EBOV glycoprotein (GP) …

auch gleichzeitig neue Zellkontakte, so dass eine mehr oder minder kollektive Bewegung
des Zellverbandes entsteht, die erst endet, wenn die Wunde geschlossen ist (siehe Bild 1) …

The endothelium lines the vascular network that is distributed in every tissue. Hence, it
pervades the entire body and is exposed to radiation when faced with a radiation field …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a terminal illness and the most common form of dementia, which
disproportionately affects the aged population. The pathophysiology of AD is characterized …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a global health challenge nowadays, impacting over 50
million people per year globally. This situation is partly linked to the fact that TBI is among …

Coaxial disk devices are widely used at low Reynolds numbers to simulate cellular shear
loading. Here, we develop a mathematical theory for analyzing fluid behavior in these …

Previous adhesion models have attributed sickle adhesivity mostly to the presence of highly
specific cell adhesion molecules associated with acute events like endothelial perturbation …

Endothelial cells (ECs) form the inner lining of all blood vessels in the body, and coat the
outer surfaces of heart valves. Because ECs are anchored to extracellular matrix proteins …
