| Popis: |
Khodadadei et al. investigate the mechanisms underlying cerebral shunt failure using a microfluidic chip to simulate shear forces in the shunt. Employing total internal reflection fluorescence imaging, their findings indicate that astrocyte interleukin-6 cytokine secretions increase under higher shunt shear stresses, informing future shunt design and potential drug therapies to reduce shunt failure in patients. |
