Wall shear stress–an important determinant of endothelial cell function and structure–in the arterial system in vivo: discrepancies with theory
RS Reneman, T Arts, APG Hoeks - Journal of vascular research, 2006 - karger.com
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 …

Lack of primary cilia primes shear-induced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition
Rationale: Primary cilia are cellular protrusions that serve as mechanosensors for fluid flow.
In endothelial cells (ECs), they function by transducing local blood flow information into …

Primary cilia sensitize endothelial cells for fluid shear stress
Primary cilia are mechanosensors for fluid shear stress, and are involved in a number of
syndromes and congenital anomalies. We identified endothelial cilia in areas of low shear …

Wall shear stress as measured in vivo: consequences for the design of the arterial system
RS Reneman, APG Hoeks - Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2008 - Springer
Based upon theory, wall shear stress (WSS), an important determinant of endothelial
function and gene expression, has been assumed to be constant along the arterial tree and …

Endothelial primary cilia in areas of disturbed flow are at the base of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis develops in the arterial system at sites of low as well as low and oscillating
shear stress. Previously, we demonstrated a shear-related distribution of ciliated endothelial …
