Microfluidic structures with movable elements: a simultaneous mechanical and shear stress stimulation of cells using a multilayered microfluidic system (Ribas et al. 2017), b harmonically deflecting cantilever beams to mimic cardiac muscles (Agarwal et al. 2013), and c leaflet-like barriers to mimic the complex flow dynamics of heart valves (Hu et al. 2020)
