Abstract

Previously, we created a 3D vascular network in a microfluidic device and demonstrated that the luminal flow significantly enhanced the formation of angiogenic sprouts as compared to static conditions [1]. These results could not be explained based on either biochemical factors (oxygen and nutrient transport) or mechanical factors (pressure and shear stress) derived angiogenesis. In this study, we investigated the effect of flow rate and shear stress on angiogenesis induced by luminal flow. We calculated the shear stress exposed on the endothelium where new sprouting initiated. Our results showed that angiogenesis was induced in the specific range of shear stress.
