The role of shear stress and arteriogenesis in maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing cerebral atherosclerosis

The role of shear stress and arteriogenesis in maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing cerebral atherosclerosis

Shear stress (SS) is a biomechanical force that is determined by blood flow, vessel geometry, and fluid viscosity. Although a wide range of known vascular risk factors promote development of atherosclerosis, atherosclerotic changes occur predominately at specific sites within the arterial tree, sugg...
