Rheological properties of the in vivo injury site environment has been measured. 105 fluorescent beads (1.0 mm diameter) were added to the gastric luminal superfusate, and then photodamage of gastric surface epithelial cells was induced by two photon laser. Fluorescent beads moved away from gastric tissue after damage, suggesting that the injury creates fluid flow away from the tissue into the lumen
