... attributed. Summary: We discuss shear stress in response to fluid dynamics and invite the reader to study shear stress in biological systems, in which shear stress emerges from cell and tissue interactions. Shear stress Fluid shear stress Biomechanics Cytoskeleton European Research...

...Zichen Xu; Keming Li; Ying Xin; Kai Tang; Mo Yang; Guixue Wang; Youhua Tan ABSTRACT Distant metastasis mainly occurs through hematogenous dissemination, where suspended circulating tumor cells (CTCs) experience a considerable level of fluid shear stress. We recently reported that shear flow induced...

... GPR68 activators such as fluid shear stress and extracellular acidifications. In addition, iGlow responds to Ogerin, a synthetic GPR68-selective agonist, but not to a non-active Ogerin analog, showing the specificity of iGlow-mediated fluorescence signals. Flow-induced iGlow activation is not eliminated...
