Response of mesenchymal stem cells to shear stress in tissue-engineered vascular grafts

Recent studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into endothelial cells. The effect of shear stress on MSC differentiation is incompletely understood, and most ...

Determining and Understanding the Yield Stress of Complex Fluids

The stress value then levels off at the equilibrium value (Figure 7). Figure 7. Illustration showing the stress evolution of a yield stress material at constant shear rate. Normally, a low value of ...

What’s the Difference Between Bearing, Shear and Tear-Out Stress?

Jointing is a basic function of engineering. For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a ...
