Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. Arterial
endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction plays a key role in many of these CVDs, such as …

The endothelialization of cardiovascular prostheses is known to improve their
haemocompatibility. As such body-foreign materials often do not endothelialize …

A novel hand‐held low‐frequency magnetic stimulator (MagCell‐SR) was tested for its
ability to stimulate microcirculation in fingers of healthy volunteers. Blood flow during and …

The adhesion behaviour of osteoblastic cells on implant surfaces is a main focus during the
development of osteoconductive implant surfaces. Therefore, besides cell spreading and …

Shear stress imposed on the arterial wall by the flow of blood affects endothelial cell
morphology and function. Low magnitude, oscillatory and multidirectional shear stresses …

As more is learned about the molecular and cellular biology of human and model organism
cells in the contexts of normal physiological function and disease pathology, it is the role of …

We developed a new system which enables direct observation of platelet adhesion on
opaque biomaterials under shear flow conditions, by combining a thin quartz cone which …

The route by which engineered tissue products are manufactured in vitro commonly utilises
dynamic tissue culture bioreactors in which cell culture media and proliferating cells interact …

Growth and remodeling of bone is known to be strongly influenced by mechanical forces
applied to the skeleton. 1–4 Bone cells may act as mechanosensors translating a …

The adsorption kinetics of purified fibrinogen to unmodified and aminopropylsilane-modified
quartz glass surfaces were studied under pseudo-first order (binding-unit excess) conditions …
