NFAT5 Isoform C Controls Biomechanical Stress Responses of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

NFAT5 Isoform C Controls Biomechanical Stress Responses of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Vascular cells are continuously exposed to mechanical stress that may wreak havoc if exceeding physiological levels. Consequently, mechanisms facing such a challenge are indispensable and contribute to the adaptation of the cellular phenotype. To this end, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) activa...
