Effects of variable mechanical stimuli on vascular smooth muscle contractility
Cells within the aortic wall are exposed to variable cyclic mechanical stimuli due to variability in blood pressure. Vascular smooth muscle cells, which have been shown to play an important role in maintaining aortic wall tension and stiffness, respond to mechanical stretch by reorganizing their cyt...
