| Objectives: Biomechanical stimulation of cell signalling pathways makes a major contribution to cellular physiology in the healthy arterial wall and, conversely, mechanical disturbances are increasingly thought to underlie the development of arterial pathology. This symposium covered current and emerging concepts regarding the molecular and cellular mechanisms whereby biomechanical factors influence atherosclerosis. |
