Research reveals how blood flow directs vessel health at the molecular level

How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body’s changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi University and the InFLAMES Flagship have uncovered new molecular pathways that allow blood vessel cells to sense and respond to the mechanical forces generated by blood flow.
