<h4>Rationale</h4>Prolonged exposure to enhanced stretch, such as in hypertension, triggers endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of pathological vascular remodeling processes. Despite its clinical relevance, little is known about stretch-induced gene expression in endothelial cells.<h4>Objective</h4>Here, we have characterized a new stretch-inducible signaling pathway and the subsequent changes in endothelial gene expression in response to stretch.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Using human primary e ...[more]
