A Role for Thrombospondin-1 in Arterial Remodeling under Altered Wall Shear Stress

Abstract

Introduction: It is well known that wall shear stress (WSS) influences arterial remodeling. We have recently demonstrated that low and oscillatory WSS (termed disturbed flow) leads to a stiffened arterial remodeling, and we... [ view full abstract ]
