Shear-loaded endothelium may drive vascular remodeling; hypothesis-generating for atherosclerosis mechanisms and should not yet change practice.
Fluid shear stress induces endothelial cells to produce stimulators of smooth muscle cell migration and enhances collagen production.
Ono et al. (1991) studied this question.
