We carried out finite element analyses for a cultured endothelial cell on a substrate and endothelial cells on the vascular wall. For the former, we investigated the effect of the shape of the cell, i.e. the cell lengths in the stretch and transverse directions on the distributions of stress and strain, under pure uniaxial stretch of the substrate. For the latter, we examined the effect of adjacent cells comparing to the above case of a single cell on the substrate. The simulation results show that a cell which is long in the stretch direction has large values of stress and strain in the upper region, and that the cell length in the transverse direction does not affect that. The results also indicate that the connection between cells increase the transmission of stretch under the deformation of the vascular wall.
