Biomechanical forces enhance directed migration and activation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells

Abstract Mechanical forces are pervasive in the inflammatory site where dendritic cells (DCs) are activated to migrate into draining lymph nodes. For example, fluid shear stress modulates the movement patterns of DCs, including directness and forward migration indices (FMIs), without chemokine effec...
