NET1/ARHGEF8 is a mechanosensitive Guanine Exchange Factor controlling vascular smooth muscle cells' contractility
Cyclic stretch, generated by pulsatile blood pressure, has been identified as a pivotal regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) behavior and arterial wall homeostasis. Research has demonstrate...
