Open AccessHistone H1.0 couples cellular mechanical behaviors to chromatin structure
Tuning of genome structure and function is accomplished by chromatin-binding proteins, which determine the transcriptome and phenotype of the cell. Here we investigate how communication between extracellular s...

Low Wall Shear Stress Is Associated with Saphenous Vein Graft Stenosis in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Biomechanical forces may play a key role in saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of 430 post-CABG patients were evaluated ...
