Overview

This review synthesizes mechanical forces affecting endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, suggesting implications for diseases like atherosclerosis.

Key Points

  • Mechanical forces like shear stress regulate the function of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, which is vital for vascular homeostasis.
  • Pathological alterations in mechanical forces contribute to diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension by inducing inflammation and dysfunction.
  • Mechanosensors in cells trigger several signaling pathways that affect processes like proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in vascular cells.
  • Hydrostatic pressure plays an underestimated role in vascular diseases and highlights critical gaps for future research in mechanosensing.
