A Self-Sustaining Mechanism for Endothelial Tension Maintenance Through GqGPCR Signaling
2026-04-26
Abstract excerpt
The vascular endothelium maintains homeostasis by acting as a selective barrier, permitting the exchange of nutrients, immune cells, and signaling molecules while restricting pathogens. It further regulates vascular function by generating and sustaining mechanical tension. Aging and disease alter the vascular environment and disrupt the regulation of endothelial tension, contributing to vascular diseases such as h...
