Heparan sulfate (HS) is the most abundant glycosaminoglycan on the vascular endothelium and can regulate endothelial cell morphology and function in response to mechanical stimuli. This study investigated endothelial HS response to an inflammatory stimulus under static and arterial shear stress conditions. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) under static conditions expressed significantly higher HS when treated with an inflammatory stimulus compared to untreated controls.

Bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) is a diagnosis of exclusion after exhaustive evaluation of plasmatic coagulation and platelet function. This review explores the utility of global hemostatic assays as confirmatory tests and in elucidating the pathophysiology of BDUC. Unlike traditional hemostatic tests that focus on coagulation factors, global assays are conducted both in plasma and also whole blood.

Protein S (PS), the critical plasma cofactor for the anticoagulants tissue factor (TF) pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and activated protein C (APC), circulates in two functionally distinct pools: free (anticoagulant) or bound to complement component 4b-binding protein (C4BP) (anti-inflammatory). Acquired free PS deficiency is detected in several viral infections, but its cause is unclear. Here, we identified a shear-dependent interaction between PS and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) by mass spectrometry.

Microfluidics has emerged as a promising approach for assessing cellular behavior in vitro, providing more physiologically relevant cell culture environments with dynamic flow and shear stresses. This study introduces the Universal Biomaterial-on-Chip (UBoC) device, which enables the evaluation of cell response on diverse biomaterial substrates in a 3D-printed microfluidic device. The UBoC platform offers mechanical stimulation of the cells and monitoring of their response on diverse biomaterials, enabling qualitative and quantitative in vitro analysis both on- and off-chip.

Deposition of silica microparticles on glass substrates was measured as a function of cationic polymer-anionic surfactant composition and shear rate. Particles were initially deposited in quiescent conditions in different polymer-surfactant compositions, which were chosen based on prior measurements of composition-dependent polymer-surfactant interactions and deposition behavior (up to 0.5 wt % polymer and 12 wt % surfactant).
