Shear sensitivity in animal cell culture.
Over the past year, considerable progress has been made in understanding shear sensitivity in animal cell culture as a result of extensive theoretical and experimental work. Here we review this progress, paying special attention to the physical and biological mechanisms by which mechanical forces act upon cells, and the effects of such forces.
