Fluid Shear Stress and Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Increase Endothelial Cell-Associated Vitronectin
Vitronectin is a matricellular protein that plays an important role in both coagulation and angiogenesis through its effects on cell adhesion and the plasminogen system. Vitronectin is known to bind to endothelial cells upon integrin activation. However, the effect of integrin activation by shear st...
