Increased MMP activity in curved geometries disrupts the endothelial cell glycocalyx creating a proinflammatory environment

Wall shear stress gradients (WSSGs) induce an inflammatory phenotype in endothelial cells (ECs) which is hypothesized to be mediated by mechanotransduction through the EC glycocalyx (GCX). We used a three-dimensional in vitro cell culture model with a 180(o) curved geometry to investigate if WSSGs c...
