The "Solution" to LSS-Induced Cell Cycle Arrest
| Division: | Life Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill Secondary | | Abstract: | Our project focussed on the effects of laminar shear stress (LSS) on cell growth. Studies have shown that continuous exposure to LSS causes cell cycle arrest. LSS is dependent on the viscosity of the fluid yielding the force. By targeting the viscosity of blood, we attempted to alter the levels of LSS yielded by the blood’s flow in an in vitro simulation. |
