Altered shear stress on endothelial cells leads to remodeling of extracellular matrix and induction of angiogenesis.
Endothelial cells (ECs) are subjected to physical forces such as shear stress (SS) induced by blood flow that leads to significant changes in morphology, physiology and gene expression. The abnormal mechanical forces applied in the cardiovascular system can influence the development of conditions an...
