Abstract
Adhesion of blood cells to vascular endothelial cells may contribute to microcirculatory obstruction and ischemia in a variety of pathological conditions. Studies of such interactions in vitro are best carried out using assays that mimic flow in vivo. It is also widely accepted that hemodynamic flow forces influence the structure and regulate the function of the endothelial cells themselves.
