Abstract (original English)
Within the healthy human body, cells reside within the physiological environment of a tissue compound. Here, they are subject to constant low levels of mechanical stress that can influence the growth and differentiation of the cells. The liposuction of adipose tissue and the subsequent isolation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), for example, are procedures that induce a high level of mechanical shear stress. As MSCs play a central role in tissue regeneration by migrating into regenerating areas and driving regeneration through proliferation and tissue-specific differentiation, they are increasingly used in therapeutic applications. Consequently, there is a strong interest in investigating the effects of shear stress on MSCs. In this study, we present a set-up for applying high shear rates to cells based on a rotational rheometer with a small-angle cone-plate configuration. This set-up was used to investigate the effect of various shear stresses on human adipose-derived MSCs in suspension. The results of the study show that the viability of the cells remained unaffected up to 18.38 Pa for an exposure time of 5 min. However, it was observed that intense shear stress damaged the cells, with longer treatment durations increasing the percentage of cell debris.
