Review highlights mechanical stress responses in endothelial cells, suggesting universal cellular adaptation principles govern cardiovascular physiology and pathology.
There are important physiological and pathological cardiovascular consequences related to endothelial biomechanical properties. The endothelium, however, is not unique in responding to external forces; virtually all cells accommodate or respond to the mechanical environment.
