A Cone-Plate Bioreactor for Applying Physiologically Derived Shear Stress Waveforms to Study Endothelial Mechanotransduction and Cardiac Cell Signaling

This paper introduces a cone-plate bioreactor that applies controlled shear stress to endothelial cells and cardiac tissues, showing increased cell alignment and cardiomyocyte proliferation under pulsatile shear.
