The role of shear stress and arteriogenesis in maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing cerebral atherosclerosis
Shear stress (SS) is a biomechanical force that is determined by blood flow, vessel geometry, and fluid viscosity. Although a wide range of known vascular risk factors promote development of atherosclerosis, atherosclerotic changes occur predominately at specific sites within the arterial tree, sugg...
