Flowmics

Flowmics is a new field in bioinformatics that involves phenotyping cells under flow. Examples include the shear stresses experienced by platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells by flowing blood. The goal of flowmics is to map the flome. The flome encompasses all flow induced changes in the proteome, metabalome, glycome, and sheddome. This includes, but is not limited to, flow induced protein expression, receptor-ligand binding for flowing cells, and secretion of soluble factors.
