Laminar Flow Protects Vascular Endothelial Tight Junctions and Barrier Function via Maintaining the Expression of Long Non-coding RNA MALAT1

Atherosclerotic plaque preferentially develops in arterial curvatures and branching regions, where endothelial cells constantly experience disturbed blood flow. By contrast, the straight arteries are generally protected from plaque formation due to exposure of endothelial cells to vaso-protective la...
