Heparin-binding EGF-like Growth Factor Signaling in Flow-induced Arterial Remodeling

Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is activated by reduced endothelial shear stress and stimulates smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in vitro. More- over, HB-EGF is augmented at sites of intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis— conditions favored by low/disturbed shear stress. We t...
