    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cell Biology
    • Microfluidics

    Background:

    • Cells respond to mechanical stimuli via mechanotransduction.
    • Fluid shear stress (FSS) is a critical mechanical stimulus.
    • Microfluidic devices enable mechanotransduction studies under near-physiological conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design a novel microfluidic device for generating a broad spectrum of physiological fluid shear stresses (FSS).
    • To enable mechanotransduction research across a wide range of cellular mechanical environments in a single experimental setup.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel microfluidic device was designed using a microchannel resistance model.
    • Computational simulations were employed to predict flow velocities and wall shear stress.
    • Analysis included varying channel depths and inlet flow rates (0.5–50 μl/s).

    Main Results:

    • The device generates FSS across five orders of magnitude with a single fluid inflow.
    • FSS exhibited a linear increase with increasing inlet flow rate.
    • Shallower channels resulted in a flatter shear stress profile.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed microfluidic device effectively generates a comprehensive range of physiological FSS.
    • This tool facilitates advanced mechanotransduction studies by simulating diverse cellular mechanical environments.
    • The findings provide insights into optimizing microfluidic device design for FSS control.
