Endothelial cell morphologic response to asymmetric stenosis hemodynamics: effects of spatial wall shear stress gradients

L Rouleau, M Farcas, JC Tardif, R Mongrain… - 2010 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
Endothelial cells are known to respond to hemodynamic forces. Their phenotype has been
suggested to differ between atheroprone and atheroprotective regions of the vasculature …

Concentration and Time Effects of Dextran Exposure on Endothelial Cell Viability, Attachment, and Inflammatory Marker Expression In Vitro

L Rouleau, J Rossi, RL Leask - Annals of biomedical engineering, 2010 - Springer
Dextran is commonly used to alter growth medium rheological properties for in vitro flow
experiments in order to match physiological parameters. Despite its acceptance in literature …
