Hydrodynamic Characterization of an Arterial Flow Bioreactor

An in vitro arterial flow bioreactor system for the generation of physiological flows in a biological environment was designed, constructed, and characterized. The design was based on models previously used to investigate the response of endothelial cells to shear. The model interfaces a bioreacto...
