Emerging topic: flow-related epigenetic regulation of endothelial phenotype through DNA methylation.

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis is a multi-focal disease; it is associated with arterial curvatures, asymmetries and branches/bifurcations where non-uniform arterial geometry generates patterns of blood flow that are considerably more complex than elsewhere, and are collectively referred to as disturbed flow. Such regions are predisposed to atherosclerosis and are the sites of 'athero-susceptible' endothelial cells that express...
