The length distributions of polymer fragments subjected to an elongational-flow-induced scission are profoundly affected by the fluid flow and the polymer bond strengths. In this paper, laminar elongational flow was used to induce chain scission of a series of circumference-programmed DNA nanotubes. The DNA nanotubes served as a model system for semiflexible polymers with tunable bond strength ...

Innate immune system activation is associated with atherosclerotic lesion development. The specific sites of lesion development are believed to be defined by the shear stress of blood flow. Consequently, we investigated the responsiveness of human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) to Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4 agonists in an in vitro model of chronic laminar flow. HCAECs under ch...
