Abstract:Objective:
Cerebral ischemia affects the mechano-response of vasculature and the remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The present study investigates how oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) affects the brain endothelial cell (BEC) stiffness. We further aim to study whether ECM components affect the cellular stiffness in normal and energy deprived conditions.
Methods:
Primary human BECs received a 16h OGD followed by the reperfusion with norm… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
