Development and characterization of a novel microfluidic bioreactor system utilized for examining hemodynamic effects on cellular response

Understanding the contribution of individual mechanical stimuli to cardiovascular pathogenesis is critically important for understanding and treating cardiovascular disease, and microfluidic bioreactors are a useful tool for these studies. Cardiovascular bioreactors are uniquely complex because they...
