    Mechano-chemo-biological model of atherosclerosis formation based on the outside-in theory

    Atherosclerosis is a disease in blood vessels that often results in plaque formation and lumen narrowing. It is an inflammatory response of the tissue caused by disruptions in the vessel wall nourishment. Bloo...
