A KLF2-BMPER-Smad1/5 checkpoint regulates high fluid shear stress-mediated artery remodeling

Vascular remodeling to match arterial diameter to tissue requirements commonly fails in ischemic disease. Endothelial cells sense fluid shear stress (FSS) from blood flow to maintain FSS within a narrow range in healthy vessels. Thus, high FSS induces vessel outward remodeling, but mechanisms are po...
