Q

How does shear stress contribute to intimal hyperplasia?

A

shear stress principally exerts its frictional forces on ECs at the interface of the blood and vessel wall. ECs align in the direction of stress, and the greater the shear stress, the more elongated the cells. 54 55 Such changes are correlated with a redistribution of intracellular stress fibers and fiber quantity. In areas of high shear stress, ECs express higher amounts of stress fibers, including actin, myosin, and other contractile proteins.
