Abstract
Shear stress, the frictional drag on the endothelium from blood flow, is a major determinant of vascular physi- ology and pathology. Due to the pulsatile nature of blood flow, blood vessels are subjected to significant variations in me- chanical forces. Endothelial cells situated at the interface between blood and the vessel wall play a crucial role in detecting and responding to the mechanical forces generated by shear stress. Multiple sensing...
