Responses of vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs) to fluid shear stress (FSS) from
blood or lymphatic fluid flow govern the development, physiology, and diseases of these …

The migration of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) plays an important role in vascular
remodeling. Here we studied the effects of cell morphology on the migration of bovine aortic …

▪ Abstract Cell motility is an essential cellular process for a variety of biological events. The
process of cell migration requires the integration and coordination of complex biochemical …

The migration of arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is thought to play a central
role in atherogenesis and restenosis. The migration of several other cell types, including …

The migration of vascular endothelial cells under flow can be modulated by the addition of
chemical or mechanical stimuli. The aim of this study was to investigate how topographic …

Blood vessels are lined by a single layer of endothelial cells that provide a barrier between
circulating plasma and the underlying tissue. Permeability of endothelial cells is tightly …

Understanding how vascular wall endothelial cells (ECs), smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and
fibroblasts (FBs) sense and transduce the stimuli of hemodynamic forces (shear stress …

Endothelial cells (ECs) lining blood vessel walls respond to shear stress, a fluid mechanical
force generated by flowing blood, and the EC responses play an important role in the …

Early atherosclerotic lesions localize preferentially, in arterial regions exposed to low flow,
oscillatory flow, or both; however, the cellular basis of this observation remains to be …

Endothelial cells (ECs) are continuously exposed in vivo to cyclic strain and shear stress
from pulsatile blood flow. When these stimuli are applied in vitro, ECs adopt an appearance …
