Modelling the endothelial cell response to fluid flow

In vitro endothelial cells respond to fluid flow by elongating in the direction of flow. How the mechanical signal is transformed into an organised and directed response is poorly understood. The most studied and crucial aspects to this response are; actin filament alignment, mechano-transduction, s...
