✦ Synopsis

Initial multidisciplinary work provided an impressive descriptive fund of knowledge about the overall response of the endothelium to hemodynamic forces, and molecular biology has provided the tools for the discovery process to take a quantum leap forward in recent years. Each of these areas is addressed in detail in this volume, with gene regulation taking a central role. This book should be read by all those with an interest in vascular biology, including physiologists, biochemists, geneticists, and those interested in bioengineering and fluid dynamics.
