Low shear stress promotes atherosclerosis through activation of EndMT
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is influenced by local blood flow patterns that exert wall shear stress (WSS) on endothelial cells (EC). Low, oscillatory WSS promotes atherosclerosis by influencing EC dysfunction (inflammation, permeability and proliferation), while high WSS is athero-protective. A re...
