Polarized Proteins in Endothelium and Their Contribution to Function.

abstract：:It has been well established that wall shear stress is an important determinant of endothelial cell function and gene expression as well as of its structure. There is increasing evidence that low wall shear stress, as present in artery bifurcations opposite to the flow divider where atherosclerotic lesions preferentia...
