    Normal Shear Stress and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Modulate Migration of Endothelial Cells Through Histone Deacetylase 6 Activation and Tubulin Acetylation

    Endothelial cells (ECs) line the innermost of the blood vessel wall and are constantly subjected to shear stress imposed by blood flow. ECs were also influenced by the neighboring vascular smooth muscle cells ...

    RACK1 Regulates Src Activity on Apoptosis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Induced by Cyclic Strain

    Mechanical cyclic strain (CS) is an important regulator of apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which are involved in vascular remodeling during hypertension. However, its mechanism is still uncl...

    Endothelial Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Modulates Proliferation and Phenotype of Smooth Muscle Cells Induced by Low Shear Stress

    Endothelial cells (ECs) are directly exposed to shear stress and modulate the neighboring vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which plays important roles in vascular remodeling during atherosclerosis. Our pr...
