The Contribution of Cell Surface Components to the Neutrophil Mechanosensitivity to Shear Stresses

This review discusses the regulation of neutrophils by fluid shear stress in the context of factors that may govern cell mechanosensitivity and its influence on cell functions. There is substantial evidence that mechanoreceptors located on the peripheral membrane contribute to the ability of shear s...
