Blood Flow Forces in Shaping the Vascular System: A Focus on Endothelial Cell Behavior
The endothelium is the cell monolayer that lines the interior of the blood vessels separating the vessel lumen where blood circulates, from the surrounding tissues. During embryonic development, endothelial cells (ECs) must ensure that a tight barrier function is maintained whilst dynamically adapti...
