Atheroprone fluid shear stress-regulated ALK1-Endoglin-SMAD signaling originates from early endosomes

Abstract Background Fluid shear stress enhances endothelial SMAD1/5 signaling via the BMP9-bound ALK1 receptor complex supported by the co-receptor Endoglin. While moderate SMAD1/5 activation is required to maintain endothelial quiescence, excessive SMAD1/5 signaling promotes endothelial dysfunction...
