Biomechanical modulation of endothelial phenotype: implications for health and disease.

Abstract excerpt

The functional phenotypic plasticity of the vascular endothelium relies on the ability of individual endothelial cells to integrate and transduce both humoral and biomechanical stimuli from their surrounding environments. Increasing evidence strongly suggests that biomechanical stimulation is a critical determinant of endothelial gene expression and the functional phenotypes displayed by these cells in several...
