Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A chronic change in hemodynamic forces might activate the pathophysiological process of maladaptive venous remodeling. Biomechanical stretching stimulates venous smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the media, and biomechanical loads exceeding physiological levels affect the intrinsic circadian rhythm and cellular phenotype. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the expression patterns of circadian...
