Cyclic strain upregulates VEGF and attenuates proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells

OBJECTIVE: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy and proliferation occur in response to strain-induced local and systemic inflammatory cytokines and growth factors which may contribute to hypertension, atherosclerosis, and restenosis. We hypothesize VSMC strain, modeling normotensive arteri...
