Heterogeneous Cytoskeletal Force Distribution Delineates the Onset Ca(2+) Influx Under Fluid Shear Stress in Astrocytes

Mechanical perturbations increase intracellular Ca(2+) in cells, but the coupling of mechanical forces to the Ca(2+) influx is not well understood. We used a microfluidic chamber driven with a high-speed pressure servo to generate defined fluid shear stress to cultured astrocytes, and simultaneously...
