Proliferation and apoptosis rates for dhBMECs in confluent monolayers at 0 (static), 4, and 12 dyne cm⁻². a Proliferation rate versus time. b Steady state proliferation rate as a function of shear stress. c Apoptosis rate as a function of time. d. Steady state apoptosis rate as a function of shear stress. e Net rate of change as a function of time. f Steady state net rate of change as a function of shear stress. Data obtained from analysis of approximately 18,000 cells over three independent experiments. Steady state values were obtained from the average rates between 30 and 40 h. Error bars represent mean ± SE
