The effect of wall shear stress in a novel endothelial tissue culture model of arterial curvature
Vessel wall shear stress (WSS) is hypothesized to cause focal endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction leading to a pro-inflammatory environment. Clinical observations of focal atherosclerosis have been documented in arterial bifurcations, branch points and in lesser arterial curvature. In both in vivo and...
