Figure 4.
The extent of active recoil in sustained fluid shear. The active recoil ΔXC in the X-position of the cell centroid increased with the maximum FSS on the cell surface in the first shear step. The magnitude of active recoil decreased in subsequent fluid shear steps. (*) indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05) in active recoil between the first and second steps. The number of observations, n, at each maximum shear stress is given above the symbol.
