Original Abstract

Arterial endothelium lies right at the interface between blood flow and the aortic wall and its disruption has been hypothesized as one of the crucial players in atherosclerosis development and progression. To address the physiological conditions of arterial endothelium we conducted a study of endothelial cell behaviour under shear stress. By interconnecting tailored experiments of cells under shear flow with computational modelling, we gained further insights into the behaviour of individual cells under shear stress. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the viability and extend the capabilities of previously-developed FEM structural models of cells [1,2]. We hypothesize that excessive deformation may lead up to a disruption of the cell attachment to the underlying substrate and thus play a major role in lipid penetration through the endothelium.
