无意中引发的平行平板流体腔中流体的变化导致非均匀的基因表达
Gene expression studies are important for understanding generegulation, deducing cell signal cascades, etc. More broadly, thesestudies are often used to understand disease development, as specificgenes are commonly up regulated in clinical pathologies. Thesestudies can be paired with the application of a mechanical stimulus as well for example, endothelial cells can be exposed to a defined fluid flow (physiological or pathological) in order to understand the possible mechanisms for atherosclerosis development.
