TonEBP/NFAT5 regulates ACTBL2 expression in biomechanically activated vascular smooth muscle cells

Cytoskeletal reorganization and migration are critical responses which enable vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) cells to evade, compensate or adapt to alterations in biomechanical stress. An increase in wall stress or biomechanical stretch as it is elicited by arterial hypertension promotes their...
