Direct visualization of lipid deposition and reverse lipid transport in a perfused artery : roles of VLDL and HDL.

abstract：:Fluid shear stress caused by blood flow is a major determinant of vascular remodeling and arterial tone and can lead to development of atherosclerosis. The endothelial monolayer in vivo acts as a signal transduction interface for hemodynamic forces; these forces determine the shape, cytoskeletal organization, and func...
