Microfluidic Evidence of Synergistic Effects between Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Derived Biochemical Factors and Biomechanical Forces to Control Endothelial Cell Function

The authors used two different microfluidic designs to investigate critical steps during angiogenesis and found pronounced effects of endothelial cell proliferation as well as chemotactic and mechanotactic migration induced by bone marrow MSCs conditioned medium.
