New Molecular Mechanisms for Cardiovascular Disease: Blood Flow Sensing Mechanism in Vascular Endothelial Cells
Abstract.: Endothelial cells (ECs) lining blood vessels have a variety of functions and play a critical role in the homeostasis of the circulatory system. It has become clear that biomechanical forces generated by blood flow regulate EC functions. ECs are in direct contact with blood flow and expose...
