Microvascular Endothelial Cells Exhibit Optimal Aspect Ratio for Minimizing Flow Resistance

A recent analytical solution of the three-dimensional Stokes flow through a bumpy tube predicts that for a given bump area, there exists an optimal circumferential wavenumber which minimizes flow resistance. This study uses measurements of microvessel endothelial cell morphology to test whether this...
