The Application of a Homogeneous Half-Space Model in the Analysis of Endothelial Cell Micropipette Measurements
Abstract
Experimental studies have shown that endothelial cells which have been exposed to shear stress maintain a flattened and elongated shape after detachment. Their mechanical properties, which are studied using the micropipette experiments, are influenced by the level as well as the duration of the shear stress. In the present paper, we analyze these mechanical properties with the aid of two mathematical models suggested by the micropipette technique and by the geometry peculiar to these cells in their detached post-exposure state. The two models differ in their treatment of the contact zone between the cell and the micropipette. The main results are expressions for an effective Young’s modulus for the cells, which are used in conjunction with the micropipette data to determine an effective Young’s modulus for bovine endothelial cells, and to discuss the dependence of this modulus upon exposure to shear stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
