This review aims to survey the current state of mechanotransduction in vascular smooth
muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs), including their sensing of mechanical …

Haemodynamic forces influence the functional properties of vascular endothelium.
Endothelial cells (ECs) have a variety of receptors, which sense flow and transmit …

Atherosclerosis develops preferentially at branches and curvatures of the arterial tree, where
blood flow pattern is disturbed rather than being laminar, and wall shear stress has an …

Different blood flow patterns in the arteries can alter the adaptive phenotype of vascular
endothelial cells (ECs), thereby affecting the functions of ECs and are directly associated …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have critical functions in vascular diseases.
Haemodynamic factors are important regulators of VSMC functions in vascular …

Shear stress, especially low shear stress (LowSS), plays an important role in vascular
remodeling during atherosclerosis. Endothelial cells (ECs), which are directly exposed to …

Purpose To examine filter characteristics at preretrieval computed tomography (CT) that are
associated with complicated inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval procedures. Materials …

Use of retrievable inferior vena cava filters (RIVCFs) has grown exponentially since their
introduction into clinical practice, but many of these devices are not retrieved. Some are not …

Despite the importance of immune cells in regulating the wound healing process following
injury, there are few examples of synthetic biomaterials that have the capacity to push the …

The vascular endothelial cells constitute the innermost layer. The cells are exposed to
mechanical stress by the flow, causing them to express their functions. To elucidate the …
