Validation Antibodies were validated by the respective suppliers for the applications described in this manuscript. Plexin D1 antibody (Santa
Cruz Biotechnology) used for magnetic force application experiments was validated for this application in-house. `
Eukaryotic cell lines
Policy information about cell lines
Cell line source(s) Bovine aortic endothelial cells were purchased from VEC Technologies; mouse endothelial cells used in this study were
isolated in-house.
Authentication Authentication was performed by western blotting and immunofluorescence for endothelial markers (PECAM, eNOS), as well
as alignment in response to laminar flow.
Mycoplasma contamination Cell lines used in this study were mycoplasma free.
Commonly misidentified lines
(See ICLAC register)
None
Animals and other organisms

Adams, ApoE-/- mice were first generated and characterized by N. Maeda
Wild animals No wild animals were used in this study.
Field-collected samples No field-collected samples were used in this study.
