The progenitor cells of the developing liver can differentiate toward both hepatocyte and biliary cell fates. In addition to established roles TGFβ Notch signaling in this fate specification process, there is increasing evidence that progenitors are sensitive mechanical cues.

This study investigates how the transition from cyclic to constant stretch following CF-VAD implantation affects endothelial biosynthesis and release of Von Willebrand factor (VWF) angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT-2), two molecules that play an essential role development non-surgical bleeding.
